(D) Divergent evolution occurs when related species evolve different traits due to different environmental pressures,leading to homologous structures. $A$. Flippers of penguins and dolphins are analogous structures (convergent evolution). $B$. Eye of octopus and mammals are analogous structures (convergent evolution). $C$. Sweet potato (root modification) and potato (stem modification) are analogous structures (convergent evolution). $D$. Hearts and brains of vertebrates share a common ancestral plan but have evolved into different forms in various groups,representing homologous structures which are a result of divergent evolution.
