Respuesta :

Mammals that feed on ants and termites have similar characteristics because they allow for a greater rate of success in getting this kind of food.

Even when they are not closely related, they share these characteristics because they share the same ecological conditions.

This is an example of convergent evolution, where similar characteristics evolve in distantly related organisms. (C is the right answer)
