Structures that share a common ancestor are said to be homologous. 

In the list of choices, the potato is a storage stem, the tomato is a fruit (actually a berry), the radish is a root, and the carrot is a root. 

Radish and carrots are homologous because they both have similar structural designs and are tap roots.
