B) Embryo is not developed.
C) Progenies are with more variation.
D) Progenies are larger.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] Offspring's of oviparous animals are at greater risk as compared to offspring's of viviparous animals because proper embryonic care and protection is less in oviparous animals. Oviparous animals are those animals that lay eggs, with little or no other embryonic development within the mother. These eggs mature and hatch after being expelled from the body. Examples, most fish, amphibians, reptiles, all birds, etc. Whereas viviparous animals give birth to young lives. The fertilized eggs develop into a young one inside the body of the female organisms. Therefore, chances of the survival of the young ones in viviparous animals is more because of proper embryonic care and protection inside the mother body.
