Solution

The correct option is C Nectar-eater
Hummingbirds and woodpeckers have hyoid apparatus. The hyoid apparatus is made up of bones, cartilage, and muscle. It's attached to the tongue which means, such birds have a boney tongue. This structure supports the bird's tongue and allows the bird to extend it deep into flowers or tree trunks to extract the food the bird needs.
