The answer should be reptiles!
The characteristics of reptiles are:
1. They are four-legged
2. They have an outer covering of scales
3. They breathe with the aid of lungs
4. Although most reptiles lay eggs, some also give birth to live young (fertilise internally)!
I hope this helps! :)

The answer is b considering that the cell is a basic structure for organisms and yeah hope that helps and provides a strong backbone to my answer
