Solution
The correct option is B Viviparity The birds are oviparous as they lay eggs. The majority of the mammals are viviparous as they give birth to young ones. The birds and mammals are homeotherms (warm-blooded) and maintain constant body temperature. Both have a four-chambered heart with two auricles and two ventricles. They also have kungs for respiration.
