Solution

The correct option is A Prototheria
Animals belonging to the subclass Prototheria lay eggs like non-mammals. But they feed their newborns with the secretions of their mammary glands. They are also called Monotremes as they have a single opening for both excretion and reproduction. There are only three surviving species of monotremes, spiny anteaters are one of them.
So, the correct answer is 'Prototheria'.
