Solution

The correct option is B Birds
Sex determination in birds is of ZW-ZZ types in which females are heteromorphic (AA+ZW) and males have homomorphic sex chromosomes (AA+ZZ). Due to the presence of a single type of sex chromosome (ZZ), male birds produce a single type of gametes and are homogametic. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
