Answer:

They have a common ancestor

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar arm bones are present in different types of animals as mentioned which are humans, birds, whales and lizards and the reason is that all of them had the same ancestors and eventually the species evolved into present day forms.

Other options are wrong because.

1. Function is these bones obviously are not same as whales have no arms like humans or birds.

2. They do not live in same environment as whales are in oceans and birds are in airborne whereas humans and lizards are land occupying.

3. All animals are different from each other and do not resemble humans.

Therefore the correct answer is that their ancestors were common.
