Match List-I with List-II with respect to convergent evolution: $\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|}\hline & \text{List-I} & & \text{List-I}I \\ \hline \text{A.} & \text{Lemur} & \text{I.} & \text{Flying phalanger} \\ \hline \text{B.} & \text{Bobcat} & \text{II.} & \text{Numbat} \\ \hline \text{C.} & \text{Anteater} & \text{III.} & \text{Spotted cuscus} \\ \hline \text{D.} & \text{Flying squirrels} & \text{IV.} & \text{Tasmanian tiger cat} \\ \hline\end{array}$ Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
  1. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
  2. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
  3. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
  4. 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
