A
Cobra
B
Sea snake
C
Krait
D
Python
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pythons and boa constrictors have tiny hind leg bones buried in muscles toward their tail ends. Such features, either useless or poorly suited to performing specific tasks, are described as vestigial. They are also intriguing evidence of the evolutionary histories of species. So option C is the correct answer.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hind limb consists of the femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals and toes. When referring to the back legs of four-legged animals the term hind leg is used more often than hind limb. Variant: hindlimb. Compare: forelimb. Last updated on July 24th, 2022.

Detailed explanation-3: -No, snakes do not have hip bones. Some snakes retain small spurs of bone where their ancestors once had hips and some even have tiny bones of vestigial legs embedded in their muscles, but they do not have the pronounced or functional hip bones now that snakes no longer have legs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Complete answer: 1)The convergent evolution has resulted in the formation of snakes without any limbs, so basically snakes do not have any legs and thus snakes are known as limbless reptiles.
