The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks why kangaroos are classified as marsupials. To answer this, we need to identify the defining characteristics of marsupials. 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option A**: "They produce helpless infants." - This statement is partially true, as marsupials do give birth to relatively undeveloped young. However, this characteristic alone does not define them as marsupials. - **Option B**: "The females have a marsupial pouch." - This is a defining characteristic of marsupials. Female kangaroos have a pouch in which they carry and nurse their young after birth. This is the correct answer. - **Option C**: "They are found in Australia." - While it is true that many marsupials, including kangaroos, are found in Australia, this geographical fact does not define them as marsupials. - **Option D**: "Deshu Uterine Contraction, Gestation." - This option does not accurately describe a characteristic of marsupials and is therefore incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation of the options, the correct answer is that kangaroos are marsupials because "the females have a marsupial pouch." **Final Answer**: Kangaroos are marsupials because the females have a marsupial pouch. ---
