B
Correct answer
Explanation
Woodpeckers have zygodactyl feet with two toes facing forward and two backward, which acts like a specialized climbing tool allowing them to grip vertical tree trunks. Sparrows use feet primarily for perching, parrots for grasping food and climbing, while herons have long toes adapted for wading in water rather than climbing trees.
