The correct answer is C. Redundant organs present in an organism, which have been functional in the organism’s ancestors

Explanation:

An organ or any other biological structure is categorized as "vestigial" if the organ or structure is no longer functional, which means it does not have a purpose in the present but it had a purpose in past lineages or the organism's ancestors. For example, in modern humans, the coccyx (bone at the end of the vertebral column) is considered as a redundant and vestigial structure because in the human ancestor's this acted as a tailbone but nowadays due to evolution humans lack of a tail, and therefore this bone has lost its function. According to this, vestigial organs can be defined as "Redundant organs present in an organism, which have been functional in the organism’s ancestors".

Licemer1 [7]

A batsman is unlikely to score a century in every cricket match. This is an example of "partial reinforcement".

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Unlike constant reinforcement, partial reinforcement is only strengthened during certain times or time ratios, rather than emphasizing the action every single time. This method of arranging reinforcement is also called intermittent reinforcement after certain number of correct answers or certain interval of time. Thus here a batsman donot plan intentionally to make a century in every cricket match, but it goes random. Although when they need to score high on pressure, they force themselves to stretch as much possible which is not general.
