Solution

The correct option is C Macropus
Kangaroo's scientific name is Macropus. It is a marsupial from the family Macropodidae. They are endemic to Australia. Like most marsupials, female kangaroos have a pouch called a marsupium in which young ones complete post-natal development and thus belong to marsupial.
So, option C is correct.
