Solution

The correct option is A One
Female birds in most families have only one functional ovary, the left one which is connected to an oviduct. Although, two ovaries are present in the embryonic stage of each female bird. Presence of one ovary reduces their body weight. It is an adaptation for flight.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
