Solution

The correct option is A Urodela.
Neoteny is also called as pedogenesis. It is the production of offsprings by an organism in its larval or juvenile form, the elimination of the adult phase of the life cycle.
It is the slowing of the rate of development with the consequent retention in the adulthood of a feature or features that appeared in an earlier phase of the lifecycle of ancestral individuals. It is shown by animals under the order of Urodela.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
