**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Terms:** - First, let's clarify the terms related to reproduction: - **Oviparous:** Animals that lay eggs with a significant amount of yolk, allowing for embryo development outside the mother's body (e.g., birds, reptiles). - **Viviparous:** Animals that give birth to live young, where the embryo develops inside the mother's body (e.g., humans). - **Parthenogenetic:** A form of asexual reproduction where an embryo develops from an unfertilized egg (e.g., some insects, like bees). 2. **Analyzing the Options:** - The options provided are: - A. Oviparous - B. Oviparous - C. Parthenogenetic - D. Viviparous - Notice that options A and B are the same, which might be a typographical error. 3. **Identifying Human Reproduction:** - Human beings do not lay eggs with yolk; instead, the embryo develops inside the female body. This indicates that humans are not oviparous. - Since humans give birth to live offspring, they are classified as viviparous. 4. **Conclusion:** - Based on the definitions and the reproductive process of humans, the correct answer is **D.
