The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each option and determine which one correctly matches the characteristics of the organisms mentioned. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Groups of Mammals**: - Mammals are classified into three main groups based on their reproductive strategies: - Monotremes (egg-laying mammals) - Marsupials (pouched mammals) - Placental mammals (those that give birth to live young). **Hint**: Remember the three groups of mammals and their reproductive strategies. 2. **Analyze the First Option (Macropus)**: - Macropus is a genus that includes kangaroos, which are marsupials. - Marsupials are characterized by having hair on their skin and external ears (pinna). - Therefore, this option is correct. **Hint**: Look for characteristics specific to marsupials when evaluating options. 3. **Analyze the Second Option (Pleurobranchia and Nidoblast)**: - Pleurobranchia is a genus of ctenophores (marine invertebrates). - Nidoblast refers to a type of cell found in cnidarians, not mammals. - This option is incorrect as it does not relate to mammals. **Hint**: Check if the organisms mentioned belong to the same classification group. 4. **Analyze the Third Option (Pristis and Guitar Fish)**: - Pristis refers to sawfish, which are cartilaginous fish. - Guitar fish is a common name for Rhinobatos, which is also a type of cartilaginous fish. - This option is incorrect as it does not involve mammals. **Hint**: Identify if the organisms are from the mammalian class. 5. **Analyze the Fourth Option (Scoliodon and Catfish)**: - Scoliodon is a genus of sharks, which are also cartilaginous fish. - Catfish belong to the order Siluriformes, which is a completely different group of fish. - This option is also incorrect as it does not relate to mammals. **Hint**: Ensure that both organisms in the option are mammals. 6. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all options, the only correct option that matches the characteristics of mammals is **Option A (Macropus)**. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **A (Macropus)**.
