Given below are two statements: Statement (I): Analogous organs leads to convergent evolution. Statement (II): Analogous organs help to trace common ancestry. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Step-by-step solution

Statement (I) is false because analogous organs are the result of convergent evolution, they do not lead to convergent evolution. Convergent evolution is the process by which unrelated or distantly related organisms evolve similar body forms, coloration, or organs due to adapting to similar environments. Statement (II) is false because analogous organs do not indicate common ancestry. It is homologous organs (organs with similar fundamental structure but different functions) that help to trace common ancestry, as t
