• B. Analogous organs
• C. Both A and B
  
• D. Artificial selection

Answer 1

The correct option is A Homologous organs

The forelimbs and hind limbs of frog and human have similar anatomical structures but they perform the different function. The forelimbs of humans have evolved to perform diverse activities while forelimbs of frog help in sitting and moving. The hindlimbs of humans are capable of walking, running, jumping etc. while the hindlimbs of frogs are muscular and allow jumping and swimming. Such organs that are similar in structure in two different species but are performing unrelated functions are called homologous organs.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Homologous organs'
