Solution

The correct option is B Synsacrum
The synsacrum is a skeletal structure found in birds. It is basically a sacrum fused with many other vertebrae. These fused vertebrae could either be caudal or lumbar vertebrae. It is assumed to be present in some extinct reptiles like dinosaurs, too.
So, the correct answer is 'Synsacrum'.
