Answer: B. Sweet potato and potato.
Answer: (b) Sweet potato and potato.
Analogous organs have the same function but different origin. Both store food, but sweet potato is a modified (tuberous) root while potato is a modified underground stem (tuber). Forelimbs of lizards and birds, and thorns of Bougainvillea and tendrils of Cucurbita (both modified axillary structures of the stem), are homologous. The appendix is a vestigial part of the caecum.
