Solution

The correct option is A Species carry their young ones in pouches
Monotremes are egg-laying mammals. They do not have pouches, rather, marsupials have pouches to carry their young ones. Teeth is absent in modern adult monotremes. Like all the other mammals, their lower jaw is composed of a single bone called mandible.
