Solution

The correct option is A Marsupials
The mammals who gives birth to immature young ones and nurse them in a pouch are marsupials (kangaroo, koala). These have the typical characteristics of mammals such as mammary glands, hair on the body. But these organisms have ultra-short pregnancies as compared to a eutherian mammal. The young ones are immature, almost embryonic. They complete their development inside the pouch.
So, the correct option is 'Marsupials'.
