Answer #1

Answer: Archaea as well as Eukarya both are closely related to each other in comparison to bacteria so they  form a monophyletic group.

Explanation: Archaea is more closely related to Eukarya then to the bacteria. If we start journey from last universal common ancestor which is generally known as LUCA then we have branching where archea and Eukarya are closely placed in comparison to bacteria. Means they share a closest (recent)common ancestor.
