Birds:

Correct Answer
A. Lay eggsExplanation
Birds lay eggs as their reproductive strategy. This is a characteristic feature of most avian species. The process of laying eggs allows birds to reproduce and ensure the survival of their offspring. The eggs are usually laid in nests and are incubated until they hatch. This adaptation enables birds to reproduce efficiently and successfully. Giving live birth is not a characteristic of birds, as they are oviparous animals.Rate this question:

Birds have feathers that are not waterproof, and their bodies are not designed for efficient swimming. Instead, they have evolved for flight and are known for their ability to fly long distances.Rate this question:
