The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the set that depicts only homologous organs, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Homologous Organs**: - Homologous organs are those that arise from a common ancestor but have evolved to perform different functions. They exhibit similar anatomical structures despite their different roles in different species. 2. **Analyze the Given Sets**: - **Set 1**: Limbs of man, bat, and cheetah. - **Set 2**: Wings of bats, butterfly, and bird. - **Set 3**: Sting of honey bee, scorpion, and snake. - **Set 4**: Tail of rat, peacock, and cockroach. 3. **Evaluate Each Set**: - **Set 1**: The limbs of man, bat, and cheetah are homologous organs. They share a common structural origin (forelimbs) but have adapted to different functions (man uses hands for manipulation, bat for flying, cheetah for running). - **Set 2**: The wings of bats, butterflies, and birds are analogous organs. They serve the same function (flight) but have different evolutionary origins. - **Set 3**: The sting of honey bee, scorpion, and snake are also analogous organs, as they perform similar functions (defense) but are derived from different ancestral structures. - **Set 4**: The tail of rat, peacock, and cockroach are not homologous; they have different structures and functions, indicating different evolutionary paths. 4. **Conclusion**: - The only set that depicts homologous organs is **Set 1** (limbs of man, bat, and cheetah). ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Set 1: Limbs of man, bat, and cheetah**. ---
