Solution

The correct option is B Monotremes
Monotremes are the most primitive mammals. Although monotremes possess distinguishing mammalian features, such as hair and mammary glands, they are unique among mammals in laying eggs rather than giving birth to live young. The eggs are like those of reptiles, with large yolks and leathery shells.
So, the correct answer is option B.
