The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question describes a specific reproductive strategy in animals where the female retains fertilized eggs inside her body, allowing the embryo to develop without providing additional nourishment. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: - **Fertilization**: The process where male and female gametes unite. - **Embryo Development**: The growth of the fertilized egg into an embryo. - **Nourishment**: The provision of nutrients to support the embryo's growth. - **Placenta**: An organ that provides nutrients and oxygen to the developing embryo in viviparous animals. 3. **Types of Reproductive Strategies**: - **Oviparous**: Animals that lay eggs outside the body after fertilization. The development occurs outside, and there is no nourishment from the mother. - **Viviparous**: Animals that give birth to live young after the embryo develops inside the mother with the aid of a placenta, which provides nourishment. - **Ovoviviparous**: Animals that retain eggs inside their body after fertilization, allowing the embryo to develop inside without a placenta, meaning no additional nourishment is provided by the mother. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Oviparous**: Incorrect, as these animals lay eggs outside the body. - **Viviparous**: Incorrect, as these animals provide nourishment through a placenta. - **Ovoviviparous**: Correct, as these animals retain eggs and allow development without providing extra nourishment. - **None of these**: Incorrect, as there is a suitable option. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the definitions and characteristics of the reproductive strategies, the correct answer is **ovoviviparous animals**. **Final Answer**: Ovoviviparous animals. ---
