✅ Correct Answer: D
Mammals are mostly viviparous; only monotremes like Platypus lay eggs.
Assertion-Reason
Assertion (A): All coelenterates are marine animals.
Reason (R): Coelenterates are radially symmetrical animals with cnidoblasts.
✅ Correct Answer: D
NCERT states "They are aquatic, mostly marine" - the qualifier "mostly" indicates exceptions like freshwater Hydra exist. The Assertion removes this qualifier making it false. The Reason is independently true from NCERT describing coelenterate characteristics, but the Assertion is false due to freshwater coelenterates.
