The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characters provided, we will analyze each character step by step and determine which group of animals they belong to. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Characters:** - The characters given are: - Two pairs of limbs - Homoiothermous (warm-blooded) - Heart is four-chambered - Fertilization is internal - Different types of teeth are present in the jaw 2. **Analyze Each Character:** - **Two pairs of limbs:** This suggests that the organism has four limbs, which is characteristic of many tetrapods, including mammals, birds, and some reptiles. - **Homoiothermous (warm-blooded):** This indicates that the organism can maintain a constant body temperature regardless of the environment. This is a trait of birds and mammals. - **Heart is four-chambered:** A four-chambered heart is found in birds and mammals, allowing for efficient separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. - **Fertilization is internal:** This means that fertilization occurs inside the female's body, which is typical of mammals and some reptiles. - **Different types of teeth are present in the jaw:** This suggests a varied diet, which is common in mammals, as they have specialized teeth for different functions (incisors, canines, molars). 3. **Evaluate the Options:** - **Option A: Apes** - Apes are mammals, have two pairs of limbs, are warm-blooded, have a four-chambered heart, and exhibit internal fertilization. They also have different types of teeth. This option fits all the characters. - **Option B: Reptilia** - Reptiles typically have a three-chambered heart (except for some advanced reptiles), and they usually lay eggs (external fertilization). This does not match the characters provided. - **Option C: Mammalia** - Mammals have all the characteristics mentioned: two pairs of limbs, are warm-blooded, have a four-chambered heart, internal fertilization, and different types of teeth. This option fits perfectly. - **Option D: Amphibia** - Amphibians generally have a three-chambered heart and lay eggs in water. They do not match the criteria provided. 4. **Conclusion:** - Based on the analysis, the characters described belong to the class **Mammalia**. ### Final Answer: The above characters belong to **Mammalia**.
