B. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
Step-by-step solution
The eye of an octopus and a mammal differ in their anatomical structure but perform the same function of vision. They are analogous structures resulting from convergent evolution (A-II). The forelimbs of a bat and a cheetah share the same fundamental bone structure but are adapted for different functions (flying and running). They are homologous structures resulting from divergent evolution (B-III). Darwin's finches represent the evolution of different species from a common ancestor in a given geographical area, wh
