Answer
Correct option: C.
Wings of insects and birds are homologous organs.
The wings of an insect are analogous to the wings of a bird and bat.
It is because the structure of the wings of the insect is different from the wings of birds and bats.However, their function is similar.
Flippers of penguins and dolphins have a similar function $($helps in swimming$)$ but different origins so, they are analogous organs.
The wings of bat and pigeon are analogous organs, as both use wings for flying.
