Solution

The correct option is C Archaeopteryx
Archaeopteryx shows paleontological evidence for evolution. It showed the thecodont dentition, solid bones, long-tail like dinosaurs. Also, they had the beak, feathers and furcula like modern birds. Hence, it is the connecting link between non-avian feathered dinosaurs and modern birds. It is also called the transitional fossil.
So, the correct answer is 'Archaeopteryx'.
