The correct option is B Excessive body hair
The pentadactyl limb has 5 digits on the hand and foot. It also has a specific pattern of bones. It is not the vestigial structure in man. Thus, option C is wrong.
Conjunctiva and cornea are the layers of eye, which are not the vestigial organs. Thus, option D is wrong.
Extra abdominal muscles are present in man, which are not vestigial. Thus, option A is wrong.
Excessive body hair is vestigial in man. Thus, option B is correct.
