Answer:

The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Platypus is a mammalian species that lays the egg and feeds its young ones milk like any other mammals. Platypus shares characters of both mammals such as the presence of fur and mammary glands, and with reptiles such as the presence of eggshells and egg laying, although it is classified with the mammals.  

It is because, it exhibits more genetic similarity with the mammalian genome, almost 82%,  as compared to other vertebrates.

Thus, the correct answer would be option D.
