Solution

The correct option is C

Eyelids


Vestigial organs are those organs that have ceased to be of any use to the possessor but still persists generation after generation in reduced form. Few examples of vestigial organs in human are pinna of the ear, wisdom teeth, the vermiform appendix and the tailbone. Eyelids are not vestigial organs as they cover and protect the eyes.
