Final answer:

Convergent evolution is the process of independent evolution of similar features in different species due to similar selective pressures.


Explanation:

Convergent evolution is the process exemplified by the physical similarities between ichthyosaurs and dolphins. It describes the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages due to similar selective pressures. In this case, both ichthyosaurs and dolphins developed analogous structures for efficient swimming despite not being closely related.
