Answer:

D. The threat of predators to eat eggs

Explanation:

The internal gestation followed by live birth was an adaptation developed by the mammals on land, and by some fish in the water, like the sharks. The mammals have been the most marking ones in this adaptation though. They too were producing eggs initially, but because they were living in an environment where there were numerous animals that preyed upon them, as well as their eggs, they had to be innovative. They developed internal gestation, where the embryo was developing inside the body of the female, and then it was born alive. This was providing extra safety, as the embryo was always with the mother, instead of being left alone and not guarded, thus an easy meal for the predators. The two types of internal gestation that the mammals developed are the placental and marsupial types, with the placental turning out to be more successful over time.

Although plant sources also contain irons (in the form of non-heme iron) but these irons are not as absorbed by the body like the heme iron. However, the absorption rate of these non-heme irons can be increased by encouraging the locals to add fruits that contain vitamin-c (such as pineapple, orange, mango, grape, kiwi or strawberry) to there diet when they eat plant sources of non-heme irons like beans, spinach, nuts (cashew and almond), lentils and dried apricots .
