SSC Selection Post 2022 PYQ — Question 46

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Bird class

These birds belong to a group known as ratites, which are characterized by their flightless nature and a flat, unkeeled breastbone (sternum) that lacks the strong muscles required for flight. Despite their inability to fly, they possess all the fundamental characteristics of birds, including feathers, beaks, warm-bloodedness, and the laying of hard-shelled eggs. They represent a fascinating example of evolutionary adaptation, thriving in diverse habitats across the Southern Hemisphere.
