Solution

The correct option is E Bird
An endotherm is an organism that maintains its body at a metabolically favorable temperature, largely by the use of heat set free by its internal bodily functions instead of relying almost purely on ambient heat. Only mammals and birds are endotherms, hence option D is the correct answer.
