Option 3 : C only

Concept:

  • Every organism has some different characteristics.
  • The type characteristics are based on their anatomy, morphology, evolutionary history, and features of embryological development.
  • These characters play an important role in carrying on the progeny.

Oviparous animals

  • Those animals which lay eggs are called oviparous animals.
  • The fertilized eggs have calcareous shells and young ones hatch out after a period of incubation.
  • Example: reptiles, birds, hens etc. Hence, statement 2 is true.

Viviparous animals

  • The animals which give birth to young ones are called viviparous animals. 
  • The fertilized egg (zygote) has no shell and develops into a young one inside the body of the female organism.
  • Example: the majority of mammals including human beings.

Explanation:​

Egg-laying animals are also known as Oviparous.

Thus Turtle, Python, Eagle, Lizard and Honey bee all are egg-laying animals

Turtles:

  • Some turtles are carnivores (meat-eaters), others are herbivores (plant eaters) and some are omnivores (a mixture of the two!).

Pythons:

  • Pythons, unlike many other snake species, do not produce venom and are therefore non-venomous.

Eagles:

  • Eagles are at the top of the food chain. Eagles have incredible vision and can spot prey up to two kilometres away.
  • Their Grip is up to 10 Times Stronger than humans.

Lizards:

  • Chameleons can change colour, and lizards can detach their tails.
  • The majority of lizards can swim. Lizards have a cold-blooded nature.

Honey bees:

  • Only female bees have the ability to sting. 
  • Stingers are not present in male bees.
