Analogous structures are results of?

A

convergent evolution

B

shared ancestry

C

stabilizing selection

D

divergent evolution

Step-by-Step Solution

analogous structures (such as the wings of a butterfly and of birds) are not anatomically similar but perform similar functions. The text explicitly states that analogous structures are a result of convergent evolution, where different structures evolve for the same function. In contrast, homology is based on divergent evolution and shared ancestry.
