Solution
The correct option is B Homologous organ
Forelimbs of cat, whale, and bats are used in walking, swimming, and flying respectively. They have humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges in their forelimb skeleton. They originated from a common ancestor but evolved to perform different functions which is a characteristic feature of homologous organs.
Adaptive radiation is the process of evolution of different species in a given geographical area starting from a point and literally radiating to other habitats.
The convergent evolution occurs when similar evolutionary pressure has resulted in the selection of similar adaptive features in different groups of organisms but towards the same function. These structures are known as analogous structures.
