Solution

The correct option is B modified forelimbs
Like other tetrapods, birds also possess two pairs of limbs - the forelimbs and the hindlimbs. The forelimbs are modified into wings that help in flight. The hindlimbs generally have scales and are modified for walking, swimming or clasping the tree branches.
