Solution

In paleontology and evolutionary biology, taxa or individuals are related in terms of their ancestry. They are classified in three classes namely, monophyletic, paraphyletic and polyphyletic based on their relative kinship or closeness with their \'closest common\' ancestor.

In the given question, monophyletic taxa are the ones which are related to or originated from single ancestor. A close examination of the given phylogeny tree reveals that all the taxa listed in the legend have origin at the the center of the tree.

Thus, all the given taxa are monophyletic in nature.
