Solution
The correct option is A Contour feather
Contour feathers are feathers that cover the pigeon's body and streamline its shape. They are arranged in an overlapping pattern. Their tips are waterproof and are tucked close to the body. Contour feathers on the wing are called coverts. They shape the wings into an efficient airfoil by smoothing over the region where the flight feathers attach on the bone.
