Answer: <u>Common Ancestry</u>

It is not convergent evolution, because its mentioned that the organisms didn't evolve in similar environments. In convergent evolution, organisms get similar structures because they need to adapt to similar environmental conditions.

This is a case of divergent evolution, because the organisms might have evolved from the same ancestor and retained some of the structures from the ancestor.
