Correct Answer

D

Explanation

Birds of prey have hooked beak for ripping flesh off their preys. They also have claws which are sharp and hooked for grasping their preys tightly. Strong and pointed beaks are used for probing holes into trees to obtain insects and their larvae found deep within the tree holes eg. wood peckers. The strong slaws are used for firm grip of the tree trunk. Big beaks are used for picking grains. Pointed beak is used for sucking nectars of flowers
