The process by which organisms with different evolutionary history evolve similar to a common environmental challenge is called
natural selection
convergent evolution
non-random evolution
non-random evolution
B.
convergent evolution
Convergent evolution occurs in an unrelated group of organisms. It is the development of similar functional structures but in related groups.
The process of evolution of different species in a given geographical area starting from a point and literally radiating to other areas of geography is called adaptive radiation. Natural selection is the basis of evolution.
