Match List-I with List-II with respect to convergent evolution: \begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|}\hline & List-I & & List-II \\\hline A. & Lemur & I. & Flying phalanger \\\hline B. & Bobcat & II. & Numbat \\\hline C. & Anteater & III. & Spotted cuscus \\\hline D. & Flying squirrels & IV. & Tasmanian tiger cat \\\hline\end{array} Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • Correct answer
    A
    A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
  • B
    A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
  • C
    A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
  • D
    A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I

Solution

The correct answer is option (1), because - Lemur is a placental mammal, shows convergent evolution with spotted cuscus which is an Australian marsupial. - Bobcat is a placental mammal, shows convergent evolution with Tasmanian tiger cat which is an Australian marsupial. - Anteater is a placental mammal, shows convergent evolution with Numbat which is an Australian marsupial. - Flying squirrel is a placental mammal, shows convergent evolution flying Phalanger which is Australian marsupial

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
