Answer:
B
Birds are related to theropod dinosaurs — a group that includes the Tyrannosaurus rex.
Theropods were bipedal dinosaurs, meaning they walked on two legs, not four like many other dinosaurs. When we look at the modern-day emu or ostrich, the resemblance to these dinosaurs is striking, especially when examining their bone structure.
Birds have scales like many dinosaurs and some dinosaurs may have had feathers.
Scientists have discovered that the tissues used to produce scales in reptiles are similar to those that produce feathers in birds. This suggests that there is a common ancestor between dinosaurs, birds, and reptiles. Furthermore, birds have scales on their feet!
Birds lay eggs similar to dinosaurs and reptiles.
The similarities between bird and reptile eggs are well known, but they also share traits with dinosaur eggs.
Most dinosaur eggs are hard-shelled, just like the eggs of our modern-day feathered friends. They are also both made up of the same basic elements, calcium, and carbon, which form crystal structures that make the eggshell more difficult to crack.
