A bat's .wings may look like sheets of skin. But underneath, a bat has the same five fingers as an orangutan or a human, as well as a wrist connected to the same cluster of wrist bones connected to the same long bones of the arm. What can be more curious than that the hand of a man, formed for grasping, that of a mole for digging, the leg of the horse, the-paddle of the porpoise, and the wing of the bat, should all be constructed on the some pattern ? Which one of the following is the most logical, scientific and rational inference that can be made from the above passage ?
Different species having similar structure of hands is an example of biodiversity.
Limbs being used by different species for different kinds of work is an example of biodiversity.
Man and the aforementioned animals having similar structure of limbs is an example of coincidence in evolution.
Man and the aforementioned animals have a shared evolutionary history.
Answer is (d). Option (a) lacks specific mention in the passage. Option (b) references "biodiversity," but the varied use of limbs does not directly relate to biodiversity. Option (c) may seem plausible, but it's not explicitly supported by the passage as "coincidence in evolution" is not mentioned. Option (d) stands out as the most suitable choice, as it refers to "a shared evolutionary history," which aligns with the passage's discussion of a "very curious situation."
