Many crustaceans (for example, lobsters, shrimp, and crayfish) use their tails to swim, but crabs have reduced tails that curl under their shells and are not used in swimming. This is an example:______
a) convergent evolution
b) a homologous structure
c) natural selection
d) a vestigial trait

Vestigial traits simply involves those traits (such as organs, structurrs or behaviors) which are found or occurs in organisms or animals, that have lost all or most of their original function through evolution. These vestigial structures were organs that performed some important functions in the organism at one point in the past. In most cases, organs or traits once identified as vestigial simply had an unrecognized function.
