Solution

The correct option is B Divergent evolution
Divergent evolution is caused when the differences in the groups lead to the formation of new species. Due to the divergent evolution, the structures with the common origin develop differently according to the environmental need. Darwin's finches provide a good example of divergent evolution. So, the correct answer is option B.
