Solution
The correct option is B Testes are found on scortal sacs Corpus callosum is absent in prototherians.
Testes are intra-abdominal and not present in scrotal sacs in prototherians.
They lack nipples, but the skin over their mammary glands exude milk for their babies.
The subclass Prototheria contains the egg-laying mammals and burrowing mammals. These burrows are a defense against predators as well as a great place to lay their leathery eggs. Hence, option B is correct.
