Answer 1

The correct option is A A, B and D

Pelycosaurs are primitive mammal-like reptiles that lived during the Permian period of the Paleozoic era. They used to lay thick shelled eggs which do not get easily dried up under the sun. They are placed under the group of animals called Synapsids. They had a line of long bony spines along the back supporting a sail-like crest. It is believed that pelycosaurs may have given rise to the therapsids. Therapsids gave rise to mammals.
