The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Vestigial Organs**: Vestigial organs are those that have lost most or all of their original function through the course of evolution. They are typically smaller and simpler than their counterparts in related species. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question likely provides several options, one of which is the verniform appendix. We need to evaluate each option to determine which one is a vestigial organ. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Verniform Appendix**: This is known to be a vestigial organ in humans. It is a small, tube-like structure attached to the large intestine and has no significant function in digestion. - **Atlas**: This is a vertebra in the neck that supports the skull. It is not a vestigial organ. - **Premolars**: These are teeth that are used for grinding food. They are functional and not vestigial. - **Incisors**: These are also functional teeth used for cutting food. They are not vestigial. 4. **Conclusion**: After evaluating all the options, the verniform appendix is identified as the vestigial organ. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is the verniform appendix. **Final Answer**: The vestigial organ among the options is the **Verniform Appendix**. ---
