Answer:

The given examples shows homologous structures and divergent evolution.

Explanation:

  • Penguins, alligators, humans, monkey and bats are very different creatures.  Nonetheless, they all have very similar structures. Each have a humerus, radius, ulna, and carpels in their forelimbs.  Although each bone looks different in each species, the bones serve similar functions in the different organisms.  This shows homologous structures.
  • Homologous Structure: A homologous structure is an example of an organ or bone that appears in different animals, which are anatomically similar structure demonstrating descent from a common ancestor.
  • This shows divergent evolution as they have evolved through common ancestor.

Result: The given examples shows that the animals have homologous structures.  

Answer: A -may have evolved from a common ancestor.
