Solution
The correct option is C Wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth are vestigial third molars, that help human ancestors in grinding down plant tissue. The skulls of human ancestors had larger jaws with more teeth to efficiently digest the cellulose that makes up a plant cell wall. As human diets changed, smaller jaws were naturally selected, yet the third molars or wisdom teeth still develop in humans.
