Which of the following statement is incorrect regarding oviparous animals ?

The chances of survival of young ones is greater .

The correct answer is Option (3) -The chances of survival of young ones is greater.

Animals are categorised into oviparous and viviparous based on whether the development of the zygote takes place outside the body of the female parent or inside, i.e., whether they lay fertilised/unfertilised eggs or give birth to young ones.

In oviparous animals like reptiles and birds, the fertilised eggs covered by hard calcareous shell are laid in a safe place in the environment; after a period of incubation young ones hatch out.
