The correct option is C Modern reptiles and birds

The early age amniotes have a resemblance with reptiles and were divided into two major groups namely synapsids and sauropsids. Synapsids further evolved into mammals. Sauropsids are land vertebrates that evolved from the amniotes and present during the Carboniferous period. Sauropsids eventually gave rise to present age reptiles and birds.
