Solution

The correct option is D Wings of butterfly and bat
Analogous organs are those organs which have the same function but different origin. The wings of butterfly and bat are structurally different but perform the same function. i.e., they help in flight, hence, they are analogous organs.
So, the correct answer is option D.
