Solution

The correct option is C Analogous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution.
Analogous organs are organs similar in shape and function but their origin, basic plan an development are dissimilar. Such similarities are because of convergent evolution for adaptation to a common condition.
Example: Eye of octopus and eye of cat; wing of bird and wing of bat.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C), 'Analogous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution'.
