Solution
The correct option is B Owl
In eggs with more yolk, cleavage cannot cut through the large mass of yolk, and so the egg does not completely divide with each cleavage. This is known as meroblastic cleavage. In meroblastic cleavage, what ultimately happens is that a clump of dividing cells sits atop the undivided yolk. This type of cleavage is a characteristic of birds, reptiles, some fishes and amphibians. Owl being a bird will show this type of cleavage.
