Which of the following pairs is an example of convergent evolution?

Convergent evolution occurs when two different species that are not closely related develop similar traits as a result of living in similar environments or experiencing similar selective pressures. Out of the given options, whale flippers and fish fins are an example of convergent evolution. Whales are mammals and fish are not, yet both have evolved similar structures that help them swim efficiently in water.

Bird wings and insect wings, and bat wings and bird wings are examples of analogous structures that have evolved in different species due to similar functions, but not due to a recent common ancestor.

Shark skin and dolphin skin are both used for aquatic movement but have different features and textures. Hence, they are not an example of convergent evolution.
