Solution

The correct option is C Gymnophiona
Gymnophiona is a group of amphibians which includes the legless caecilians. Their skin is smooth and usually dark-matte, but some species have colorful skins. Inside the skin are calcite scales. Because of these scales, the caecilians were once thought to be related to the fossil Stegocephalia.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
