Correct answer. Both of them are prototherians and are egg-laying mammals.
Mammals are in general viviparous, i.e., give direct birth to their young ones but there is one sub-class prototheria in which the mammals lay eggs, i.e., oviparous. These are most primitive mammals confined to Australia. Tachyglossus, Zaglossus, Ornithorhyncus are main examples of this sub-class.
