Explanation:

- Let's consider the context of the passage. The sentence discusses the development of a new species, the dog, which has arisen from the wolf.

- Option 1: expand - This means to grow in size or volume. It doesn't fit the context of describing the formation of a new species.

- Option 2: derive - This implies obtaining something from a source. It doesn't convey the idea of progressive change inherent in biological evolution.

- Option 3: emerge - This means to become visible or come into existence, but it doesn’t capture the evolutionary process accurately.

- Option 4: evolve - This means to develop gradually, especially from a simple to a more complex form. This is the process through which species gradually change over time.

Given the context, the correct answer is:

Option 4: evolve
