Correct answer is C
Viviparity is a reproductive strategy in which offspring develop and are nourished inside the female's body until they are ready to be born. Viviparity is commonly observed in various organisms, including mammals, some reptiles, and certain fish species. In viviparous species, the developing offspring receive nutrients and oxygen directly from the mother through specialized structures such as a placenta or other nutrient-transfer organs.
