AConvergent evolution

BDivergent evolution

DNatural selection

Answer:

A. Convergent evolution

Read Explanation:

  • Although penguins are birds and dolphins are mammals, both have evolved similar flipper structures independently to adapt to aquatic life. This is a classic example of convergent evolution, where unrelated species develop similar traits due to adapting to similar environments, resulting in analogous structures that serve similar functions.
