Solution

The correct option is A Corresponding
'Homo' means similar or of the same kind. (a) and (c) can be eliminated because they have meanings which are not related to 'similar'. (d)"Tactile" means 'affecting or connected to the sense of touch'. So, it is unsuitable in the context of the sentence. The best option, therefore, is B.
