It allowed animals to move away from water as a requirement for reproduction and become completely terrestrial. Option 1.

Evolutionary advantage of the amniotic egg

The amniotic egg enables organisms to live their lives entirely away from water.

Prior to the evolution of the amniotic egg, the egg being laid by animals cannot survive on land. Also, the fertilization of the eggs requires water.

The amniotic egg is equipped with features that enable it to survive conditions on land.  The external shell and the amniotic fluid protect the embryo from mechanical damage and dehydration. Gaseous exchange and waste excretion of the embryo are taken care of by the allantois and the chorion.
