(B) Adaptive radiation refers to the evolution of different species from a common ancestor in a given geographical area starting from a point and radiating to other areas of geography. When more than one adaptive radiation appears to have occurred in an isolated geographical area (representing different habitats), one can call this convergent evolution. Placental mammals in Australia and Australian marsupials exhibit similar traits (e.g.,placental wolf and Tasmanian wolf) despite being distantly related, which is a classic example of convergent evolution.

Adaptive radiation in placental mammals and Australian Marsupials leading to similarity between distant species is an example of . . . . . . .
