Solution

The correct option is A Coccyx
The structures present in an organism that has lost all or most of their original function, in the course of evolution, are called vestigial organs. In humans, the vestigial organs include the muscles of the ear (auricular muscles), wisdom teeth, the vermiform appendix, the coccyx, body hair, and the semilunar fold in the corner of the eye (nictitating membrane).
