C Correct answer
Explanation

Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) lay the largest eggs of any vertebrate species, with eggs reaching up to 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter. Ostrich eggs are large (15 cm) but much smaller than whale shark eggs. Sharks do lay eggs - whale sharks are ovoviviparous, meaning they produce eggs that hatch internally.
