The correct options are
A Toothed beak
B Wing claw
Archaeopteryx was a transitional form between reptiles and birds. It is obvious that the characteristics of this organism were a mix of both avian and reptilian characters. Unlike the modern birds of today, Archaeopteryx had a full set of teeth and a long bony tail (characteristic of reptiles) and also had feathered wings (characteristic of modern birds).
