D
(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
Answer
(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
Explanation
Solution
The correct match is: (A) Divergent evolution - hearts of vertebrates (III); (B) Convergent evolution - wings of butterfly and birds (I); (C) Anthropogenic evolution - antibiotic-resistant microbes (IV); (D) Adaptive radiation - lemurs and spotted cuscus (II). Divergent evolution produces homologous structures, while convergent evolution leads to analogous structures.
