• A) Because both systems have the same basic function, they are composed of cells that are structurally similar.
• B) Both plant and animal vascular systems evolved from a common origin, because they share the same biological function.
• C) Animals are more complex than plants, implying that the vascular systems in animals are more complex than the vascular systems in plants.
• D) The vascular systems in plants are not true vascular systems like those in animals, because plants do not have hearts.
• E) Both systems evolved as the result of cell differentiation that took different paths in plants and animals but resulted in similar functions.
