Solution

The correct option is B Birds and mammals
Parental care is any behaviour pattern in which a parent invests time or energy in feeding and protecting its offspring. The degree of parental care differs widely. For example, most species of fish show little or no parental care, while birds and mammals care for their offspring until they reach adolescence. Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
