Answer: 1. Analogy, convergent

Key idea: Different origin but similar function means analogy, which results from convergent evolution.

Sweet potato is a modified root and potato is a modified stem (tuber). Both store food, but they are different organs. They are analogous structures, formed by convergent evolution. Option 1.
