Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Viviparity, or giving birth to live young, is not a characteristic shared by all birds and mammals. While most mammals are viviparous, birds are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs. The other characteristics listed (ossified endoskeleton, breathing using lungs, and warm-blooded nature) are shared by both birds and mammals.
