Solution

The correct option is C Reptiles and birds
Archaeopteryx is considered to be the transitional species between reptiles and birds, as it was found to exhibit the features of both these groups. It had jaws with teeth and a long bony tail like dinosaurs, broad wings and feathers like birds, and skeletal features of both the groups.
