A Correct answer
Explanation

Viviparous organisms give birth to live young rather than laying eggs. This is the reproductive strategy used by most mammals including humans. Oviparous organisms lay eggs, while ovoviviparous organisms retain eggs internally that hatch within the body. Omnivorous refers to diet, not reproduction.
