Solution

The correct option is D Dogfish and whale
Although fish and whales come from different lineages they share many morphological characteristics as well as some behaviors. When organisms are forced to face the same abiotic and biotic pressures, some organisms evolve to resemble others living in the same environment. This concept is known as convergent evolution.
