The correct response is:
a toe that does not contribute to movement
Vestigial organs are structures that have lost most or all of their original function in a species. In the context of a transitional fossil, a toe that does not contribute to movement would be considered vestigial, as it indicates an evolutionary remnant that may have had a functional purpose in ancestral species.
