Solution

The correct option is B Duck-billed platypus
Mammals are mainly viviparous. But, there are some exceptions, such as the duck-billed platypus, which is a semiaquatic egg-laying mammal. It is endemic to the Australian region. Another example of an oviparous mammal is the spiny ant-eater.
So, the correct option is B.
