The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which group of animals possesses pneumatic bones, a four-chambered heart, and feathers, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Terms - **Pneumatic Bones**: These are bones that are hollow and contain air spaces, which help reduce body weight and are adaptations for flight. - **Four-Chambered Heart**: This type of heart has two atria and two ventricles, allowing for efficient separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. - **Feathers**: These are unique to birds and are essential for flight, insulation, and display. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Option - **Option (a) Cyclostomata**: - Cyclostomata refers to jawless fishes like lampreys and hagfish. - They do not have pneumatic bones, a four-chambered heart, or feathers. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. - **Option (b) Aves**: - Aves refers to birds. - Birds have pneumatic bones, a four-chambered heart, and feathers. - These features are adaptations that facilitate flight. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. - **Option (c) Mammalia**: - Mammals have solid bones (not pneumatic), a four-chambered heart, but do not possess feathers. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. - **Option (d) Reptilia**: - Reptiles generally have solid bones and a three-chambered heart (with some exceptions like crocodiles which have a four-chambered heart). - They do not have feathers. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. ### Final Answer Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **(b) Aves**. ---
