Answer »Answer: (a)
Mammals and birds both evolved from reptiles-like ancestors. All vertebrates before the evolution of birds and mammals were ectothermic.
Ectothermic means regulating the body temperature from the outside through behavioural changes like hiding under a rock in shade to keep cool on a hot, sunny day. Mammals and birds are endothermy mean they can regulate the body temperature from the inside through metabolic and other physical changes.
Hint: Charles Darwin concluded that existing living forms share similarities to varying degrees not only among themselves but also with life forms that existed millions of years ago. There has been a gradual evolution of life forms with variations in characteristics.
