The females of one of the following classes possess a single overy, that is:

Correct answer: D. Aves

  • A. Pisces
  • B. Amphibia
  • C. Reptilia
  • D. Aves

Explanation

The correct answer is Aves. Female birds generally possess a single ovary on the left side of their body, an adaptation believed to support flight by minimizing body weight. In contrast, the other vertebrate classes listed-Pisces, Amphibia, and Reptilia-usually have two ovaries. This bilateral ovary arrangement is suited to their respective environments and does not have the weight constraints associated with flight.
