Solution

The correct option is A Wings of bat and birds
Bird and Bat wings are analogous organ. Bat wings consist of flaps of skin stretched between the bones of the fingers and arm. Bird wings consist of feathers extending all along the arm. These structural dissimilarities suggest that bird wings and bat wings were not inherited from a common ancestor with wings.
So, the correct option is 'Wings of bat and birds'
