b) Birds – bony fish – amphibians – reptiles

c) Amphibians – reptiles – bony fish – birds

d) Reptiles – birds – bony fish – amphibians

e) Reptiles – birds – amphibians – bony fish

Answer: (a)

Mammals and birds both evolved from reptiles-like ancestors. All vertebrates before the evolution of birds and mammals were ectothermic.

Ectothermic means regulating the body temperature from the outside through behavioural changes like hiding under a rock in shade to keep cool on a hot, sunny day. Mammals and birds are endothermy mean they can regulate the body temperature from the inside through metabolic and other physical changes.

Hint: Charles Darwin concluded that existing living forms share similarities to varying degrees not only among themselves but also with life forms that existed millions of years ago. There has been a gradual evolution of life forms with variations in characteristics.
