Solution
The correct option is D Third
Several groups of ungulates have independently reduced or lost side digits on their feet, often leaving one or two digits for walking. That name comes from their hooves, which have evolved from claws several times. Among familiar animals, horses have one walking digit and domestic bovines two. This is an example of convergent evolution. In horse, there has been an adaption of reduction of toes from five to one on each foot, which is long and covered by a hoof (claw). This toe is the Third one. Thus, option D is correct and other options are wrong.
