• A. Ovo-viviparous
• B. Viviparous
• C. Oviparous
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ovo-viviparous

Ovoviviparity is a mode of reproduction in animals in which embryos develop eggs inside the body and retained within the mother's body until they are ready to hatch. Ovoviviparous animals are similar to viviparous species in that there is internal fertilization and the young are born live but differ in that there is no placental connection and the unborn young are nourished by egg yolk in ovoviviparous.
