Answer:

C) convergent evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is a type of pattern of evolution which occurs when the two unrelated species evolves with the same feature or traits as a result of the exposure of the species to the same environmental conditions.

This type of evolution results in ion the formation of the analogous structure which is functionally similar but is evolved from the same ancestor.
