Solution

The correct option is C Hummingbird
Hummingbird are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring in the 7.513 cm range.They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings which flap at high frequencies audible to humans. These tiny birds can fly forwards, however, and are the only known birds to fly backwards as well. Hence, option C is correct.
