Solution

The correct option is C They lay eggs
  • Ovipary is the phenomenon in which an adult organism reproduces and lays eggs which later hatch and give rise to young ones.
  • Since, birds lay eggs they are known as oviparous.
  • Flight or wing modifications are not related to the process of reproduction.
So the correct answer is 'They lay eggs'.
