The correct answer is B. Convergent evolution produces organisms with similar adaptations but different ancestry, whereas adaptive radiation produces organism with different adaptations but common ancestry.
Explanation
The convergent evolution, as its name implies, is the evolution of two or more biological structures from different origins that converge in structures with common characteristics, for example, the evolution of flying animals like birds and bats that do not come from the same ancestors. On the other hand, adaptative radiation, as its name implies, is the evolution of one species that change its biological characteristics to adapt to the environment creating new adaptations. So, the correct answer is B. Convergent evolution produces organisms with similar adaptations but different ancestry, whereas adaptive radiation produces organisms with different adaptations but common ancestry.
