b) Reptiles, birds, and some mammals produce amniote eggs.

Explanation:

All the mammals produce amniotic eggs. An amniotic egg is an egg that has four extraembryonic membranes including amnion. Amnion is a fluid-filled sac that serves as a cushion and does not allow the egg to desiccate. Since mammals are land animals, they have amniotic eggs to prevent any damage to the embryo from desiccation and physical injury.
