Solution

The correct option is C Homologous organs
Homologous organs are the organs which have same origin but perform dissimilar functions. The homologous organs have similar origin but due to the evolution the organism undergoes developmental changes in order to adjust in the changing environmental condition. For example, the wings of bats and the arms of primates have evolved to form different structure but they have same ancestral tetrapod structure.
So, the correct answer is option C.
