Solution

The correct option is A Dimetrodon
Dimetrodon is more closely related to mammals than to modern reptiles, though it is not a direct ancestor of mammals. Dimetrodon is assigned to the "non-mammalian synapsids", a group traditionally called "mammal-like reptiles".
So, the correct answer is " Dimetrodon".
