Solution

The correct option is C Analogous organs
Analogous organs-
1) Their internal structure is quite different.
2) They develop in unrelated organisms.
3) Stages in the development are different.
The wings of an insect are analogous to wings of a bird. It is due to the fact that the basic structure of the wings of the insects is different from the wings of bird. However, their function is similar. So, the wings of pigeon and honey bee are analogous.
