The best characteristics to use for classifying an unknown organism among the options provided would be **bone structure**. Bone structure is a more definitive and consistent characteristic related to the taxonomy of an organism, especially in the context of vertebrates, while color, age, and number of offspring can vary widely and are not reliable indicators for classification.
