a. the tails of mice and rats.
b. the limbs of humans and apes.
c. the wings of bats and birds.
d. all of the above

Examples of analogous structures are the **wings **of bats and birds. The correct option is c .
What are analogous organs?
Analogous structures are structures that serve the same **function **in different organisms but do not share a common evolutionary origin.
This means that they evolved in different organisms independently in response to similar environmental pressures .
Because they both have the function of flight, the wings of bats and birds are examples of analogous structures, but they evolved from different ancestral structures.
Bats developed wings from their forelimbs , which grew elongated and developed a thin skin membrane stretched between the fingers .
Birds, on the other hand, evolved wings from their forelimbs, which developed feathers that allowed them to fly .
Thus, the correct option is c .

The correct answer is c , the wings of bats and birds, as they are analogous structures used for flight but have different evolutionary origins. The other options, such as the tails of mice and rats and the limbs of humans and apes, are examples of homologous structures. Analogous structures arise when unrelated species adapt similarly to similar environmental challenges.
