<u>Answer</u>: Option A) convergent.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Convergent evolution</em> is a type of evolution in which the organisms evolve independently and attain <em>similar traits</em> in order to adapt to similar environments even though they are<em> not closely related.</em>
  • The similarity can be in terms of body forms, body color, organs, and adaptations.
  • The structures formed due to convergent evolution are analogous structures that perform a similar function but have a different origin.
  • <em>So green and blue algae show convergent evolution as they look similar but are not closely related.</em>

In some trees, anthocyanins form in autumn, and these pigments cause the yellowing leaves to turn first orange and then red
