Correct answer: A
Convergent evolution refers to the process where organisms not closely related independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches. Let's match List-I with List-II based on the principle of convergent evolution:
Here's the matching based on some understanding of convergent evolution species:
- Lemur (A) matches with Spotted cuscus (III) - both are arboreal and have similar ecological roles in their environments.
- Bobcat (B) matches with Tasmanian tiger cat (IV) - both are predatory and adapt similarly to their environments.
- Anteater (C) matches with Numbat (II) - both have adapted to eating ants and termites.
- Flying squirrels (D) matches with Flying phalanger (I) - both have developed the ability to glide.
So, the correct answer is:
Option A
A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
