Solution

The correct option is C Python
  • Pythons and boa constrictors have tiny hind leg bones buried in muscles toward their tail ends.
  • Such features, either useless or poorly suited to performing specific tasks, are described as vestigial.
  • They are also intriguing evidence of the evolutionary histories of species.
  • So option C is the correct answer.
