Answer 1

The correct response is:

a toe that does not contribute to movement

This is an example of a vestigial organ, as vestigial organs are typically reduced in size or functionality compared to their evolutionary ancestors. In this case, a toe that does not contribute to movement would suggest a remnant of a structure that once had a significant function in ancestral species.
