Answer 1

Hint: A vertebrate is an animal with a cartilage or bone-encased spinal cord. The term is derived from the vertebrae, which are the bones that make up the spine. Invertebrates are animals that are not vertebrates. Birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals are all vertebrates.

Complete answer:
Snakes, and legless lizards are examples of reptiles that have evolved into limbless forms (limb loss in lizards has evolved independently several times, examples include the families Pygopodidae and Dibamidae and species of Isopachys, Anguis, and Ophisaurus).
Cyclostomes, which include modern hagfish and lampreys, are a monophyletic group of eel-shaped creatures. Both groups have cartilaginous skulls, indicating that they are true crown-group vertebrates, but neither has jaws. In fact, they are the only two extant vertebrate groups without jaws.
Amphibians are tiny vertebrates that cannot live without water or a moist atmosphere. Frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts are all members of this group. Through their very thin skin, they can all breathe and absorb water. Amphibians have unique skin glands that contain proteins that are useful to them.
Chondrichthyes is a genus of cartilaginous fishes with skeletons made mostly of cartilage. They are distinguished from the Osteichthyes, or bony fishes, which have skeletons made mostly of bone tissue.
Flightless birds are birds that have lost their ability to fly due to evolution. The well-known ratites are ostriches, emu, cassowaries, rheas, and kiwi and penguins are among the over 60 extant species.

As a result, choice C is the correct answer.

Note:
Snakes are limbless reptiles that move by undulating their bodies. A Cyclostomata, or jawless vertebrate, is a lamprey. It is an ectoparasite on fish and feeds on their blood. The Salamander is a type of Amphibian. Sharks have a cartilaginous endoskeleton and are cartilaginous fish. The ostrich is a non-flying rodent.
