Solution

The correct option is A Prototheria
The members of the subclass Prototheria lay eggs like most non-mammalian vertebrates. However, the male and the female, both feed their newborn with mammary gland secretions. They lack nipple, but the skin over their mammary glands exude milk for their babies.
