the fact that small, nonfunctioning hind legs are found in the skeletons of many snakes suggests that snakes

• evolved from organisms with legs.
• are in the process of evolving legs.
• evolved from eels (snake - like fish).
• are really populations of lizards with severe mutation in limb development.

Explanation:

Non - functioning hind legs in snake skeletons are vestigial structures. Vestigial structures are remnants of organs or structures that were functional in ancestral species. This suggests snakes evolved from organisms with legs.

Answer:

evolved from organisms with legs
