Solution

The correct option is D Raptorial
Owls have an unusual adaptation that involves their feet. Like other raptors, owls typically have three talons pointing forward and one pointing backward. this foot arrangement is called raptorial. But owls can rotate one of their forward pointing toes to the back, making their toe arrangements more like the woodpecker.
So, the correct option is 'Raptorial'.
