Solution

The correct option is B Analogy
The wings of an insect and a bat exhibit analogy. The analogy is shown by analogous structures which means those structures that are structurally different but functionally similar. Insects and bats use their wings for flight. So, the function of wings in both organisms is the same but structurally are different. Also, both organisms do not share a common ancestor. Therefore, the wings of a bat and the wings of an insect are analogous organs.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
