Answer: None of the choices is exactly correct

e. which measures two feet from the top of its head to the tip of its tail , has a wingspan of more than a foot and a half , and weighs

The grammar is correct, but there should be no spaces after the commas

Explanation: In this choice, all of the verbs are in the simple present. There is no switching from participle phrases to prepositional phrases, and it corrects the word *weights* (a plural noun) to weighs, the correct verb form.
