Options

  1. ANictitating membrane
  2. BPre-molars
  3. CVermiform appendix
  4. DCoccyx

Correct answer

B. Pre-molars

Step-by-step solution

Vestigial organs are those organs which are present in a reduced or non-functional state in an organism but were fully developed and functional in their ancestors. In human beings, the nictitating membrane (plica semilunaris), vermiform appendix, and coccyx (tailbone) are well-known examples of vestigial organs. Pre-molars are fully functional teeth in humans used for chewing and grinding food. Therefore, they are not vestigial organs. Answer: Pre-molars
