A Correct answer
Explanation

Wings of a bat and a bird have different structures and components. Wings of bats are skin folds stretched between elongated fingers, but wings of birds are a feathery covering all along the arm. They look similar because they have a common use for flying, but their origins are not common. Hence, they are analogous organs.
