A Correct answer
Explanation

Pisces (fish) are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs that develop and hatch outside the body. Most fish species produce large numbers of eggs that are fertilized externally, with the embryos developing within the eggs in water. This is in contrast to viviparous animals that give birth to live young, or saprophytes/parasites which describe nutritional modes not reproductive strategies.
