Solution

The correct option is B Terrestrial life
The eggs of terrestrial animals must overcome the hazard of drying. Reptiles and birds and some insects develop eggs with a shell impermeable to water. These shells allow oxygen to diffuse into the egg and carbon dioxide to diffuse out. Such eggs, which does not allow the transport (except for gas exchange) are called as cleidoic eggs.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
