Solution

The correct option is C Draco
Draco is a genus which includes flying lizards. These are also known as flying dragons. The ribs and their connecting membrane may be extended to create a wing, the hind limbs are flattened and wing-like in cross-section, and a small set of flaps on the neck serve as horizontal stabilizers. Draco is arboreal insectivores. While not capable of powered flight they often obtain lift in the course of their gliding flights.
So, the correct answer is option C.
