Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, convergent evolution.

Explanation:

The convergent evolution in evolutionary biology refers to the phenomenon in which the organisms that are not closely associated, that is, not monophyletic, autonomously evolve identical characteristics as a consequence of having to amend to ecological niches or identical surroundings.  

For example, the evolution of lungs and gills that serves similar functions in distant organisms is an illustration of convergent evolution.
