Answer:

The answer is the 2nd picture: the coccyx bone in humans.

Structures or anatomical features that do not currently serve a function is the bodily processes of a living organism. Vestiges are believed to have performed active functions in the organism's ancestors throughout its evolutionary history.

Coccyx Bone:

ANTONII [103]
The light-dark cycle caused by the rising and setting of the sun is responsible for what are called circadian rhythms. These are biological processes that show a cycle of around 24 hours, the time between consecutive rising of the sun. Experiments have shown that without the external cue of sunlight, the circadian rhythms of organisms tend to break down. These can be reset by being re-exposed to these cues. Jet lag is due in part to a re-setting of the circadian rhythm, as you travel to a different time zone, your body has to become used to a different timing of night and day. <span>  </span>

One of the reasons why the fish population remains approximately the same from one generation to the next is because not all the eggs laid will survive to adulthood. There are several factors which bring about elimination of the the newly hatched eggs. Examples of these are predators and diseases which eliminate the young offsprings at different stages before they develop into adulthood. 
Secondly, production of many eggs by the different fish species leads to competition for survival. Resources such as water, food, oxygen and shelter have to be fought for and its only the fittests that will be able to survive till the reproduction stage.
