Since "vestigial" means an organ that is atrophied or functionless from the process of evolution, out of the list of four structures that are given, the human appendix is that vestigial organ. All of the other organs, especially the "multiple cow stomachs" and the horns of a deer do play an important role to that animal's life.

The tiny hip bones and leg bones present in some snakes are an example of?
Vestigial structures. Over time, the reptiles snakes descended from gradually began to use their legs less and less and so the limbs disappeared. The hip and leg bones present are essentially useless to the snake and are "left over" from their evolution. That is what a vestigial structure is (e.g. appendix in humans is also vestigal; we don't use it).
