Solution
The correct option is D Internal fertilization and external development
Cleidoic eggs are laid by reptiles and birds. They are also known as amniotic eggs as they are laid by amions. In both groups of animals, fertilization is internal and the development of embryo takes place outside the body after the eggs are laid. Such eggs have a protective shell liming the exchange of water and gases. Yolk, salts, and water are present in large amounts in these eggs. The formation of cleidoic eggs is a terrestrial adaptation. Thus, the correct answer is 'Internal fertilization and external development'.
