Options

• adaptive radiation

• convergent evolution

• divergent evolution

• homologous organs

Answer 1

Natural selection can lead to similar adaptations in the diverse groups surviving in similar habitats is called convergent evolution.

Explanation:

Convergent evolution occurs when unrelated groups independently develop similar adaptations in similar environments. Adaptive radiation and divergent evolution involve diversification from common ancestry, while homologous organs are structures rather than an evolutionary process.
