Answer:

Option A , Convergent Evolution

Explanation:

In a convergent evolution, similar characteristics or traits develop in species belonging to different race or ancestry groups.  

As in this case , Earthworms are invertebrates while caecilians are amphibians but they both have the ability to burrow, have slender long body and also live in similar habitat (i.e moist soil) . Both the species (i.e earthworm and  caecilians) have different origination but they have adopted similar characteristics/traits.  

Hence,  option A is correct.

Why does the damage of the nervous system cause paralysis of the body?
Shtirlitz [24]
Paralysis is most often caused by damage in the nervous system, especially the spinal cord. The nervous system is what give signals to the different parts of our body so that if it is damaged signals and messages could not be transported. If the central nervous system is damaged, paralysis frequently affects the movement of a limb as a whole, not the individual muscles.

Why do living things go to great lengths to increase<br> their chances of reproduction?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Living things use structural strategies and behavioral strategies that increase their chances of reproduction.

Living things do so to reach the reproduction goal that is to pass genes on to offspring. For example: the pouch of a kangaroo, a frog croaking a mating call,  and colorful petals of flower etcetera helps in increasing mating chances so that their genes can be followed to the generation.
