Solution

The correct answer is a. the wings of a bat and bird.

Analogous structures are structures in different species that have the same function but have evolved separately, thus do not share a common ancestor. The wings of a bat and a bird are an example of this, as they both serve the function of flight, but have evolved independently.

The wings of a bat and the limbs of a cat, and the limbs of a cat and limbs of a tortoise are not analogous structures. They are actually examples of homologous structures, which are structures that may have different functions, but share a common ancestry.
