The correct answer is: analogous
The organs which have similar function but are different in their structure and origin are called analogous organs.
The organs which have same fundamental structure and origin but function may be similar or different, are called homologous organs.
The organs which are present in reduced form and do not correspond to the fully developed functional organs to related animals are called vestigial organs.
