The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the classification of organs that share a similar origin and developmental plan but serve different functions. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Vestigial Organs**: These are remnants of organs that were functional in ancestors but are reduced or non-functional in modern organisms. They do not fit the criteria of having a similar origin and developmental plan for current functional purposes. - **Analogous Organs**: These organs perform similar functions but have different structures and origins. This means they do not share a similar origin or developmental plan, so they are not the answer. - **Homologous Organs**: These organs have a similar structure and origin, indicating that they come from a common ancestor. However, they may serve different functions in different species. This fits the criteria given in the question. - **Physiological Organs**: This term is not commonly used in biological classification and does not relate to the question. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **homologous organs**. They have similar origins and developmental plans but perform different functions. **Final Answer**: Homologous organs. ---
