Answer:a) a sturdy-finned, shallow-water lobe-fin whose appendages had skeletal supports similar to those of terrestrial vertebrates.

Explanation:

An ancestor - An earlier type of a species at any distant time — a progenitor.

A tetrapod is any vertebrate with four limbs. It includes any vertebrate (such as birds or snakes) that have evolved from early tetrapods — especially all members of the superclass Tetrapoda.

The presence of bones that support the appendages in Lobe – fin fish were found to be similar to the categorical skeletal supports found in the limbs of sample tetrapods. The sub class crossopterygii includes the Lobe – fin fish, which is seen as one of the recent common ancestor of living tetrapod today.

Elastic fibres are the essential durable component present in mammalian connective tissueand functions to provide proper pulmonary,  cardiovascular and intestinal system structure and function. Their structural function is to provide elastic recoil and resilience for the tissues.

Elastin fibers ahve two main including microfibrils and elastin containing fibrillin play a mechanical and structural role in the arteries, and their important function is to provide the tissues with resilience and elasticity.

Hence, elastic fibers helps arteries to adapt to changes in blood pressures that accompany the heartbeat.
