Solution

Adaptive radiation is defined as the process in which the organism undergo diversification to produce multiple new forms mainly when the change in environment occurs. This also occurs in case of convergent evolution. The convergent evolution leads to the formation of new forms of organisms and organisms so formed are with analogous structures. So adaptive radiation can be considered as convergent evolution.
