Question:

The wings of a bird and the wings of an insect are Homologous structures and represent convergent evolution; Homologous structures and represent divergent evolution; Analogous structures and represent convergent evolution; Phylogenetic structures and represent divergent evolution

Homologous structures and represent convergent evolution

Homologous structures and represent divergent evolution

Phylogenetic structures and represent divergent evolution

Analogous structures and represent convergent evolution

Solution:

Analogous organs are those organs that are anatomically different but functionally the same. They are the proof of convergent evolution. Since the wings of a bird and insect both help in flight, they are analogous structures. So, the correct solution is option D.
