AI explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the anatomy of the birds' feet.

Option A) Ostrich - This option is correct because ostriches are flightless birds and they have two toes. This is an adaptation that allows them to run fast on the ground.

Option B) Cardinal - This option is incorrect because cardinals have three toes. Most birds have three toes, with one facing backward and two facing forward.
