CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
All four can fly, so flying is not the test.
Pigeon, sparrow and parrot are birds: they have feathers and lay eggs.
A bat is a mammal: it has fur and feeds its young on milk. So bat is the odd one out.
Worth noting
The obvious shared feature (flying) is shared by all four. Look one level deeper, at the animal group.
