To answer this question we need to remember quickly some concepts, analogy happens when different organisms with no ancestry relationships develop similar traits and is closely related to convergent evolution as this type of evolution indicates the same, nonrelated organism due to selective pressure end up developing similar structures, on the other hand, we have that homologous structures imply a shared ancestry even when they differ in structure and is also closely related to divergent evolution as this indicates that it was a common ancestor however the descendants diversified.

Therefore the table would be as follows

1.- Analogous, convergent

2.-homologous, divergent

3.-homologous, divergent

4.-Analogous, convergent
