Solution
The correct option is A Phylogenetic
Arm and leg of man and horse are examples of homologous organs. A homologous structure is an example of an organ or bone that appears in different animals, underlining anatomical commonalities demonstrating descent from a common ancestor. In other words, its when very different animals have bones that appear very similar in form or function and seem to be related. So, we can say there is a phylogenetic relationship between man and horse. Thus, option A is correct.
