Solution

The correct option is D Telolecithal
Bird eggs are telolecithal. Telolecithal refers to the uneven distribution of yolk in the cytoplasm of ova found in birds, reptiles, fish, and monotremes. The yolk is concentrated at one pole of the egg separate from the developing embryo. This type of egg undergoes discoidal meroblastic cleavage, where the yolk is not incorporated in the cells during cell division.
So, the correct answer is 'Telolecithal'.
