Solution

The correct option is C Hermann von Meyer
The first fossil of Archaeopteryx (a feather) was discovered in Bavaria, Germany in 1860. It was named by Hermann von Meyer (German paleontologist) in 1861. Archaeopteryx is considered as the connecting link between reptiles and birds. These were evidently in existence 150 million years ago, in the late Jurassic period.
Hence, the answer is option B.
