 Analogous organs are the result of convergent evolution, so the assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect because analogous organs are the result of convergent evolution hence they are not similar anatomically but perform similar function. Wings of insects and wings of birds are an example of analogous organs. Wings of insects and wings of birds have very much differences in their structure but both perform the same function.

Option 2 is the correct answer.
