Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Convergent evolution involves the indepdent development of similar structure in organisms that are not directly related . It is represented by analgous organs e.g.,eyes of Octopus and mammals , wings of insects and birds
In divergent evolution same basic oprgan becomes adapted specialisation to perform different function . It is represented by homologous organs e.g.,forelimbs of vertebrates (like seal's flippers bat's wings cat's paw , horse front leg and human hand ) , throns of Bougainvillea and tendrills of Cucurbita.
