Answer

Answer:

B. common ancestry

Brief Explanation:

Structural similarities not due to environmental - adaptation often indicate a common ancestor. Convergent evolution is ruled out as it's not due to similar environments. Transitional evolution and similar mating habits don't explain structural similarities as well as common ancestry.
