Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
The characteristic features of Aves (birds) are the presence of feathers and most of them can fly except flightless birds (e.g., Ostrich). Skin is dry without glands except the oil gland at the base of the tail.Therefore, both Assertion and reason are incorrect.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect'
