Solution
The correct option is C Analogous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution The eye of octopus and eye of cat show different patterns of structure, yet they perform a similar function. This is an example of analogous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution. Development of similar adaptive functional structures in unrelated groups of organisms is called convergent evolution.
