Solution

The correct option is A Metatheria
Metatherians are mammals that are also known as marsupials. Most of the marsupials are found in Central and South America and in Australia. They are called marsupials as they have a marsupium or pouch on their bodies. This group consists of animals like kangaroos, wombat, macropods, et cetera.
So, the correct answer is 'Metatheria'.
