B.Wings of birds (sparrow) and pectoral fins of fish
C.Wings of bat and butterfly

Solution
Sol.(b) [Key Concept: Homologous Organs — Common Ancestry] Wings of birds (sparrow) and pectoral fins of fish are homologous organs — they share the same basic anatomical plan and embryonic origin (modified forelimbs/pectoral appendages of vertebrates) but perform different functions. Analogous organs (like wings of birds and locusts) perform the same function but have different origins.
