About 280 million years ago, organisms that evolved from fish with bony fins and lung-like organs include early amphibians, which would be represented by creatures like **Cacops**. Cacops was a genus of early amphibians that lived during the Late Permian period and is known for its link to the evolutionary transition from fish to tetrapods (four-limbed animals).
The other organisms you mentioned, such as Archaeosperma (a primitive seed plant), single-celled organisms, and Captorhinus (a reptile), do not specifically fit the description of evolving from fish with lung-like organs in that timeframe. Therefore, the best answer would be **Cacops**.
