Solution

The correct option is D common and different
Homology indicates common ancestry and analogy indicates different ancestry. Homology occurs when the same structure develops along different directions due to adaptations to different needs. Analogous structures develop when similar evolutionary pressure results in the selection of similar adaptive features in different groups of organisms towards performing the same function.
