Solution

According to the parsimony method, phylogeny method 1 exactly represent the sequence variation at 9 sites given in the matrix.

Starting from the ancesteral sequence, the first divergence happened between gibbon and siamang.

Then from the ancestors orangutans diverged, from them gorillas diverged. From gorillas humans and chimps diverged which is clearly shown in the phlogenetic tree.
