This is an example of vestigial structure.

Vestigial structures are structures (cells, tissues and organs) found in an organism that has lost most or all of its primitive function through evolution. The vestigial structure has performed vital functions in the organism in the past but as there are changes in species as a result of natural selection, the structure became less important until it no longer functions. A reduced nonfunctional digit on the paws of dogs known as a dewclaw is an example of vestigial structure.

The correct answer is Vestigial structure, and this is why:
a vestigial structure is a structure that has lost most of its ancestral function. So the reduced nonfunctional digit (dewclaw) would be considered a vestigial structure.

The suns energy drives which of the following processes?
Delicious77 [7]
The sun's energy drives various processes on earth. One of these processes is photosynthesis in plants whereby light energy is converted into chemical energy by forming carbohydrates from carbon dioxide plus water, which is a process which usually gives off oxygen which animals need to breathe. Another process driven by the sun's energy could be evaporation of water into the air to form water vapour  and clouds which then precipitate when cooled off over mountains so is involved in the water cycle.
