AI Generated Solution

To identify the examples of convergent evolution from the given options, we need to understand the concept of convergent evolution and how it differs from divergent evolution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Convergent Evolution**: - Convergent evolution occurs when unrelated organisms evolve similar traits or functions due to similar environmental pressures, despite having different ancestral origins. This results in analogous structures. 2. **Analyze the Given Options**: ...
