Answer:

a, c, d

What are homologous organs?

Homologous organs are those organs that have similar functions, but they have different structures, and they are very different organisms. Their time of evolution is also changed and different.

A wing of an insect and the wing of a bird are very different. The wing of a butterfly is made of a thin layer with veins and a bird's wings are made up of feathers, and they are bigger than a butterfly. But their functions are very similar.

So the front leg of an insect and bones in the leg of a human and bones in the front leg and wings of a bat have similar functions.

Thus, the correct options are a, c, and d.
