Solution
The correct option is B A is True and R is False.
All viviparous animals are vertebrates, but not all vertebrates are viviparous. Animals like frog, hen, salamander, etc., have a vertebral column but are oviparous and lay eggs.
Viviparous animals on the other hand, give birth to their young ones. E.g., Kangaroo, horse, human, etc.
