Q: What type of mammal gives birth to young that need to develop further in the mother's pouch after birth?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Marsupials give birth to a tiny, immature embryo. The embryo then continues to grow and develop in a pouch on the mother’s belly. This is less risky for the mother. However, the embryo is fragile, so it may be less likely to survive than the fetus of a placental mammal.

 Choices:

- humans

- whales

- aborigines

- marsupials


A:
marsupials
