Solution

The correct option is A Maintain balance
The thick strong tail of kangaroo is often referred to as its third leg. The front and hind legs combined propel kangaroos forward. The tail acts as a rest/ base for maintaining balance while the kangaroo moves.
Hence, when moving its thick strong tail helps kangaroo to 'maintain balance'.
