    Convergent evolution

    Explanation:

    The species on Earth evolve in one of the two ways that are either they diverge from a common ancestor or they do not diverge from a common ancestor but appear as if they diverge from a common ancestor.

    The former type of evolution is known as the divergent evolution and the latter type of evolution is known as the convergent evolution.

    In the given question, the species are not closely related but they resemble each other shows that they diverge from the common ancestor. This shows that the species shows a convergent type of evolution.

    Thus, Convergent evolution is correct.
