They are C. analogous because they evolved separately for the same function.

The correct answer is:

C. analogous

Step-by-step explanation:

Analogous structures are these body structures in animals, which are used to perform related functions but which have a complex evolutionary history. They are also called connecting structures. These structures are made as a result of the need for the animals to adjust to alike environmental conditions. For situation, both bird and butterfly use their wings for gliding.
