Among the following sets of examples for divergent evolution, select the incorrect option:

  1. A
    Brain of bat, man and cheetah
  2. B
    Heart of bat, man and cheetah
  3. C
    Forelimbs of man, bat and cheetah
  4. D
    Eye of octopus, bat and man

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

[Image comparing homologous forelimbs of man, bat, and cheetah]Divergent evolution leads to homologous organs (same origin, different function). Forelimbs, hearts, and brains of vertebrates are examples.The eye of octopus and the eye of mammals (bat/man) are analogous organs (different origin, same function), which are evidence for convergent evolution.
