Solution

The correct option is C

Different structure but similar function.


By definition, analogous organs are such organs which have different evolutionary history and different structure but serve the same function. For example, wings of a bat (skinfolds between elongated fingers) and wings of an insect have different structures, but they both serve as the organs used for making a flight.
