Solution

The correct option is D Insects
The first animals to evolve flight were insects. The earliest fossil insects with wings are dragonfly-like animals from the Carboniferous, but there are some very fragmentary insect remains from Devonian rocks in Scotland. The fossils tell that the flight first evolved in insects approximately 410 million years ago.
So, the correct answer is 'Insects'
