The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Reptiles usually possess 3-chambered heart but crocodiles are an exception with 4-chambered heart. Not all chordates have a mouth with upper and lower jaw. Egg laying mammals include duck-billed platypus. Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes) are the fishes that have cartilaginous endoskeleton. There is no exception to this.
