Solution

The correct option is B Python
Python has vestigial appendages (hind limb bud). Pythons retained very small vestigial legs, a trait passed on to its descendants. These organs were functional in their ancestors but now they have completely lost their function and retained it as an evolutionary relationship.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
