Solution

The correct option is A Analogous organs
Analogous organs are the inverse of homologous organs, which have comparable capacities however extraordinary causes. A case of a closely resembling attribute would be the wings of creepy crawlies, bats and fowls that developed autonomously in every genealogy independently in the wake of veering from a progenitor without wings.
So, the correct option is 'Analogous organs'.
