The appropriate answer is c. global warming. Global warming is an increase in the global temperature caused by the increased use of fossil fuels. Using fossil fuels since the industrial revolution has pumped extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than what would actually enter from natural processes. This extra carbon dioxide is increasing the green house effect and causing the temperature to increase.

A haploid cell formed in the male seminiferous tubules
The reproductive tissues of male and female humans develop similarly in utero until a low level of the hormone testosterone is released from male gonads. Testosterone causes the undeveloped tissues to differentiate into male sexual organs. Primitive gonads become testes; other tissues produce a penis and scrotum in males.
A result of convergent evolution are the webbed feet of ducks and frogs.
Explanation:
The evolution of the animals, or rather the development of adaptive features, works in very interesting manner. It is very common in nature that animals that are closely related do not share similar characteristics, or the opposite, animals that are not closely related but share similar characteristics. The later case, is referred to as convergent evolution, where totally different animals have developed the same or very similar characteristics in order to be better suited for their environment.
In this case we have the ducks and frogs, and the webbed feet as shared adaptations, or feature. The ducks are birds, while the frogs are amphibians, and their last common ancestor has lived hundreds of millions of years ago. Despite that, both animals have developed webbed feet, and the reason for this has been that both animals have faced the same challenge, swimming and diving, and the webbed feet help them to be much faster and more agile in the water.
Other examples of convergent evolution (in the present and in the past) are:
- Hyena - Tasmanian devil
- Sandy cat - Fenec fox
- Smilodon - Thylacosmilus
- Bats - Birds

Correct matching of invertebrates and its characteristics are as follows:
Sponges are animals which have many cell but no mouth, muscles , heart or brain. They are sessile and can not move from place to place like other animals do, filter feeding animals with an asymmetrical body plan.
Cnidarians are the animals with radial symmetry and stinging cnidocyte cells. These animals consists a special cell cnida which functions in preying catch and defense. example- jellyfish, anemone.
Flatworms are the worm like animal which do not consist a body cavity or coelom. example- fluke and tapeworms.
Roundworms or threadworms are segmented worms that can live in water or land. They consist a body cavity and internal organs. examples- pinworms and hookworms.
Mollusks are the animals which consist mentle, foot and and sometimes a shell. example- octopus, squids.
Echinoderms are the animals which have radial symmetry and an endoskeleton made out of calcareous plate. These animals live only in marine environment.These animals lack circulatory and excretory systems.
Arthopods are the animals with jointed legs and an exoskeleton made out of chitin. example- spiders, shrimps and crabs.
