Solution
The correct option is A Analogous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution
Organs which are structurally dissimilar and functionally similar are called analogous organs. They lead to convergent evolution i.e. in different organisms structural modification in an organ is due to a similar habitat. Eg. the eye of octopus and eye of cat are structurally different but performs the same function of vision/ sight. Thus option B is the correct answer.
