Begin by understanding the definitions of each reproductive method mentioned: Ovoviviparity, Viviparity, Oviparity, and Parthenogenesis.
Ovoviviparity is a method where eggs develop inside the mother's body, and the young are born live, but the eggs are not nourished by the mother.
Viviparity is a reproductive method where the embryo develops inside the mother's body and is nourished directly by the mother, leading to live birth.
Oviparity involves laying eggs that develop and hatch outside the mother's body.
Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction where an embryo develops from an unfertilized egg cell. In mammals, viviparity is the most prevalent reproductive method, characterized by live births and maternal nourishment during development.
