Anna Schroeder · Answer 2

Answer: a. Analogous structures

Explanation: Analogous structure are structures in animals that have similar structures and functions but does not indicate the organisms are related.

Example wings are two in birds and they perform similar function, legs of cats and praying mantis have similar structure but they are not related.

Other structures included vestigial structure which have similar structure but may have similar ancestors and Homologous Structure.
