The correct option is a) analogous structures

Explanation:

In evolutionary studies, analogous structures can be described as similar structures which are present in different species not having a common ancestor. These structures have a similar structure but not a common origin.

Other options, like option B, is not true because homologous structures are structures present in different organisms, which may not perform the same functions but have a common origin. For example, forelimbs of bats, humans and birds.
