Solution

The correct option is C Archaeopteryx


It is commonly believed that birds are evolved from reptiles and Archaeopteryx is the connecting link between reptiles and birds. Archaeopteryx is an extinct bird which possessed both bird and reptilian characters. It had solid bones and beak with teeth like reptiles but modern birds don't have teeth and have hollow bones. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
