According to the above cladogram which animal depicted is more closely related to sharks?

Without the specific cladogram provided, I can't determine which animal is more closely related to sharks. However, in general, based on evolutionary relationships, animals like rays and skates (which are also cartilaginous fish) are typically more closely related to sharks than bony fish or other vertebrates. If the cladogram includes these categories, look for the group that shares a more recent common ancestor with sharks.
