Vedclass · Answer

(D) Homologous structures are those that have a common evolutionary origin and similar basic structure, even if they perform different functions.In the given options, carrot $(Daucus 	ext{ } carota)$ and radish $(Raphanus 	ext{ } sativus)$ are both modified taproots used for food storage.Although they belong to different plant families, they are both homologous as they are derived from the same ancestral root structure.Potato is a modified stem (tuber), and tomato is a fruit, so they do not share the same origin as the roots mentioned.
