Solution

The correct option is A Reptiles
Prototheria are mammals that lay eggs. They have several characters similar to reptiles like they have one opening for excretion and reproduction. They are also similar to reptiles in some aspects of their skeletons. Notably, their legs are on the sides of their bodies rather than underneath them. This results in a reptile-like gait. Hence, option B is correct.
