Answer:

The correct answer is option A, Analogous structures

Step-by-step explanation:

Analogous structure develop in species that live in similar kind of environment even though the two species are extremely different from each other .Being developed under similar conditions, the function and look of the analogous structures are more or less same. For example the wings in flying animals such as bats, birds, insects, and even fish are similar to each other not only in function but also in structure (wings of all these species is primarily composed of feathers, scales, hair)
