Solution

The correct option is C Convergent evolution
Similarities in organisms with different genotype indicates micro evolution.
Microevolution occurs when the type or frequency of the alleles and genotypes in a population change from one to many with evolution. Assume that the dominant allele F produces a thick coat, while the recessive allele f produces a thin coat. And these changes within a species can be due to gene mutations, selection (natural and artificial), gene flow, and genetic drift.
Macroevolution is an evolution on a scale at or above the level of species, in contrast with microevolution, which refers to smaller evolutionary changes of allele frequencies within a species or population.
Convergent evolution process starts off with two or more unrelated groups getting adapted to a similar environment. By this, they develop more or less similar features.i.e. unrelated ancestors "converged" towards the same function while adapting to a similar environment.
Divergent evolution is the accumulation of differences between groups which can lead to the formation of new species. A good example of divergent evolution, where some 15 species diverged from a single species of finch on the Galapagos islands.
