Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Bats have milk-secreting gland

• A mammal is a warm-blooded vertebrate animal of a class that is distinguished by the possession of hair or fur, females that secrete milk for the nourishment of the young ones and (typically) the birth of live young.

• Bats are mammals because they give birth to live young, nurse their young ones, have hair and like all mammals, the females of any species possess mammary glands that produce milk to feed their young offspring.

So, the correct answer is option C.
