Definition of terms:

Vestigial - The body part no longer exists for a particular organism. Example: Humans no longer have tails, unlike cats and dogs.

Analogous - The body part or structure of two different species have the same function but did not derive from a common ancestor. Example: Bat wings and Bird wings

Archaic - This term may not be biological. But it means old-fashioned or early.

Homologous - The body part or structure of two different species came from a common ancestor, but have different functions. Example: Bat wings and Human hands

ANSWER: Analogous
