D.

If both assertion and reason are false

In birds, the bursa of Fabricius is the site of Hematopoisis, a specialized organ that is necessary for B cell development in birds. Bursa is a small, glandular, blind pouch of lymphatic tissue present on the dorsal side of the cloaca. It is lined with endoderm, and opens into the proctodaeum.

In a young bird, bursa fabricii forms lymphocytes, and probably it produces antibodies and protects against local infection, but it atrophies in the adult before sexual maturity. It is also called cloacal thymus, because like thymus, it secretes lymphocytes. Thus, it is not related with flight adaptation, rather it helps in immunity.
