Solution

The correct option is D Whales
Oviparous organisms are those that lay eggs from which the young ones hatch. Lamprey is oviparous.

Sharks and Hippocampus are ovo-viviparous. They give birth to young ones. Hatching of the eggs take place inside the body of the parent.

Whales are viviparous and they give birth to young ones. Nourishment is provided by the mother to the embryo during it's various stages of development through placenta. Hatching of eggs is not involved.
