Solution

The best example of an analogous structure would be comparing a mosquito wing and a bumblebee wing.

Analogous structures are those that perform similar functions between species but do not share a common ancestor. In this case, both the mosquito and the bumblebee have wings that they use for flying, but they do not share a common ancestor that had wings.

On the other hand, comparing a human arm and a whale arm, or a bat wing and a human arm, would be examples of homologous structures, not analogous.
