(B) Wings of a pigeon and wings of a bat
(C) Wings of a butterfly and wings of a pigeon
(D) Forelimbs of a duck, forelimbs of a cow and forelimbs of a lizard

Answer 1

Answer:

wings of pigeon and wings of a bat

Answer 2

D) Forelimbs of a duck, forelimbs of a cow and forelimbs of a lizard

Explanation:

Homologous structures are organs or skeletal elements of animals and organisms that, by virtue of their similarity, suggest their connection to a common ancestor. These structures do not have to look exactly the same, or have the same function.

Forelimbs of a duck, a cow and a lizard are homologous as cow use the forelimbs for walking, duck for flying, and lizard for walking and climbing.
