Solution

The correct option is D Aves
  • Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves.
  • One of the characteristic features of birds is the presence of pneumatic bones.
  • Pneumatic bones are bones containing air-filled cavities within them, making them lighter than solid bone. These bones, being lighter in weight, help the birds in flying.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
