D Correct answer
Explanation

Owls have specialized neck vertebrae that allow them to rotate their heads up to 270 degrees in either direction. This extreme rotation is necessary because their eyes are fixed in their sockets, so they must turn their entire head to look around. Most birds can rotate only about 180 degrees, and 360 degrees would cause physical damage.
