A is the correct answer.
Hope this helps!
Convergent evolution in my understanding is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages.
Answer:
Energy is if not the most fundamental unit of everything, along with matter, space and time, thus it is one of the foundations of all science.
Explanation:
Energy in science is like words in a book, you could not read the book without words, similarly, there would be no way to do science without energy. Take this example You can only measure the *speed* of an object if it has energy.
We could look at biolgy and see how photosynthesis makes use of energy. In photosynthesis we see plant cells converting energy from the sun into usful sugars to help the plant grow.
Now we could look at astronomy and see how energy is used, If you observe stars you can see the different brightnesses and masses, which tells you alot about what type of energy conversion is happening inside the star (nuclear fusion).
Gravity
Neutron stars are the most extreme and fascinating objects known to exist in our universe: Such a star has a mass that is up to twice that of the sun but a radius of only a dozen kilometers: hence it has an enormous density, thousands of billions of times that of the densest element on Earth. An important property of neutron stars, distinguishing them from normal stars, is that their mass cannot grow without bound. Indeed, if a nonrotating star increases its mass, also its density will increase. Normally this will lead to a new equilibrium and the star can live stably in this state for thousands of years. This process, however, cannot repeat indefinitely and the accreting star will reach a mass above which no physical pressure will prevent it from collapsing to a black hole. The critical mass when this happens is called the "maximum mass" and represents an upper limit to the mass that a nonrotating neutron star can be.
However, once the maximum mass is reached, the star also has an alternative to the collapse: it can rotate. A rotating star, in fact, can support a mass larger than if it was nonrotating, simply because the additional centrifugal force can help balance the gravitational force. Also in this case, however, the star cannot be arbitrarily massive because an increase in mass must be accompanied by an increase in the rotation and there is a limit to how fast a star can rotate before breaking apart. Hence, for any neutron star, there is an absolute maximum mass and is given by the largest mass of the fastest-spinning model.
