Correct Answer: jaws


Solution : The correct option is jaws .

The beak of a bird is formed usually via jaw modification. The jaws of birds have developed into a specialised structure that is designed for a variety of purposes, such as eating, grooming and communication. A bird's beak is developed through evolutionary adaptations that include tooth loss and jaw remodelling to generate a specialised structure appropriate to the bird's eating habits and ecological purpose.
