The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks for an exception regarding the possession of a three-chambered heart among reptiles. Most reptiles typically have a three-chambered heart. 2. **Identify the General Characteristics**: Generally, reptiles possess a three-chambered heart, which consists of two atria and one ventricle. However, there are exceptions within this group. 3. **Analyze the Options**: The options provided include various reptiles. We need to identify which one does not conform to the typical three-chambered heart structure. 4. **Know the Exception**: Among reptiles, the alligator (and its close relative, the crocodile) is known to possess a four-chambered heart, which consists of two atria and two ventricles. This is the key exception to the rule. 5. **Evaluate Other Options**: - **Testudo (land tortoise)**: This has a three-chambered heart. - **Chilon (sea turtle)**: This also has a three-chambered heart. - **Krait (a type of snake)**: This too has a three-chambered heart. 6. **Conclusion**: The only reptile among the options that possesses a four-chambered heart is the alligator. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **alligator**. ---
