Solution
The correct option is C Homologous
Homologous organs are organs that are structurally similar but functionally different. They evolve from common ancestors.
One of the examples of homologous organs is the forelimbs of humans, birds, and frogs. They are all similar in structure but functionally, they are different. Frogs use limbs for jumping, birds use for flying and humans use their forelimbs for various activities.
