- The snakes have evolved from the lizard-like reptiles bearing two pairs of functional limbs, but due to change in their mode of life, have lost the limbs and girdles completely.
- The pythons and boas still retain pelvic girdles and the hind limbs in a reduced condition.
- So, the correct answer is option B.
