Answer:

B. graveteiro belongs to the ovenbird family, a group of New World tropical birds that includes more than 230 species and is

Step-by-step explanation:

In this answer choice, the prepositional phrase "of New World tropical birds" modifies the "group". Nonetheless, apparently the "group of New World tropical birds " and not the "birds" includes 230 species. This implies that the relative clause "that" which begins "that includes more..." must LIKEWISE modify a "group", OR, could be describe as it modifying the entire modified noun "a group of New World tropical birds" (apparently, the rule still applies again, because the modifier is touching what is being modified that is the modifee).
