Q:

Two desert plants are found to have an octagonal arrangement of their core plant structure. Further study of these plants reveals that one plant is of the Caryophyllales order and the other is of the Malpighiales order. These two orders are largely distinct without many common features, either on a structural or cellular level. This serves as an example of:

A

convergent evolution.

B

divergent evolution.

C

parallel evolution.

D

coevolution.
