Answer:

The correct option is <em>A. convergent evolution</em>

Explanation:

The phenomenon of evolution explains how different species might have common ancestors. This phenomenon explains that genetic variations might have led to the birth of different species from a common ancestor.

Convergent evolution can be described as a type of evolution in which similar features or traits can be observed in organisms although they may not have any genetic sequence in common. For example, sharks and dolphins look similar but they have huge differences in their genomes.
