The fallopian tube and prostate gland are not homologous structures because they serve different functions in the reproductive systems of males and females. The fallopian tube is part of the female reproductive system involved in transporting eggs from the ovary to the uterus. On the other hand, the prostate gland is found in males and plays a role in producing and secreting seminal fluid. While both structures are involved in reproduction, they have distinct origins and functions, making them mismatched as homologous structures.Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
