The appropriate example of a vestigial organ that could be found in a transitional fossil is:
a toe that does not contribute to movement.
Vestigial organs are structures that have lost most or all of their original function through the course of evolution. In this case, a toe that does not contribute to movement would be considered vestigial as it no longer serves its original purpose.
