Solution

The correct option is C Spares forelimbs for flight
Bipedal locomotion is a form of terrestrial locomotion in which an organism utilizes the two rear legs for locomotion which includes walking, running and hopping. In case of birds, the forelimbs would be spared for flight. Thus, they show bipedal locomotion.
