The cladogram below was created to show the evolutionary relationships between different vertebrates.

A branching phylogenetic tree is shown. From bottom to top, the tree has a single branch labeled with the physical trait Vertebrae. It branches left to Sharks and right with the trait Bony Skeleton. The Bony Skeleton branch divides into a Ray-finned fish branch and a Four limbs branch, which divides into an Amphibians branch and an Amniotic egg branch. The Amniotic egg branch divides into a branch labeled Hair and a branch labeled Eggs with shells. The Hair branch divides into Primates and Rodents and rabbits, while the Eggs with shells branch divides into Crocodiles and Birds. Drawings of Sharks, Ray-finned fish, Amphibians, Primates, Rodents and rabbits, Crocodiles, and Birds are aligned horizontally at the top of their respective branches.

Which of the following inferences can be made, based on this information?

Having a bony skeleton did not provide an evolutionary advantage to sharks or ray-finned fish.
Birds and sharks do not share a common evolutionary ancestor.
Rabbits and primates diverged more recently than crocodiles and birds.
Amphibians and birds share a more recent common evolutionary ancestor than sharks and birds.
