Solution

The correct option is A Archaeopteryx
The British Museum’s specimen of Archaeopteryx lithographica originates from the latest Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone in Bavaria, Germany.
Archaeopteryx shows a unique combination of dinosaur and bird characters. It is one of the few fossils that actually show evolution in action and the transition between two major groups of animals.
So, the correct option is 'Archaeopteryx'.
