question 7 (2.5

Explanation:

Birds and crocodiles are both archosaurs. Archosaurs are a group of diapsid amniotes whose living representatives consist of birds and crocodilians. Lizards are lepidosaurs. Bats are mammals. Dinosaurs (non - avian dinosaurs) are extinct, and while birds are theropod dinosaurs (avian dinosaurs), the question asks for the closest living relative. Winged insects are in a different phylum (Arthropoda) compared to birds (Chordata).

Answer:

crocodiles
