Solution
The correct option is C Hindlimbs
Vestigial organs is the organs which occur in reduced form and are useless to the possessor, but are homologous to the fully developed, functional organs of related animals. The snakes have evolved from the lizard like reptiles bearing two pairs of functional limbs, but due to change in their mode of life, have lost the limbs and girdles completely. The pythons and boas still retain pelvic girdles and the hind limbs in a reduced condition.So, the correct answer is 'Hindlimbs'.
