  1. A

    Corvus, Columba, Chameleon

  2. B

    Bufo, Balaenoptera, Bangarus

  3. C

    Catla, Columba, Crocodilus

  4. D

    Pavo, Psittacula, Corvus

Solution

Crop and gizzard are additional chambers of the digestive tract characteristic of birds. The crop serves as a temporary storage of food, while the gizzard is a muscular grinding organ.

Among the options, all three genera in (4) (Pavo, the peacock; Psittacula, the parakeet; Corvus, the crow) are birds, so all have a crop and gizzard.

The other options include reptiles, amphibians, mammals, or fish that do not have a crop and gizzard.
