Therapsida are a group of Synapsids that include mammals and
their immediate evolutionary ancestors. Synapsids are a group of
reptiles with fossils aging from 320 to 100 Mya. This group
includes mammals and, mammal like reptiles. These animals are
classified differently than Sauropsids (birds and reptiles) because
they have a single opening in their skull behind each eye (temporal
fenestra) which is also true of modern mammals.
The best answer would be Therapsida.
