Q.

Select the correct group/set of Australian Marsupials exhibiting adaptive radiation.

  1. A

    Tasmanian wolf, Bobcat, Marsupial mole

  2. B

    Numbat, Spotted cuscus, Flying phalanger

  3. C

    Mole, Flying squirrel, Tasmanian tiger cat

  4. D

    Lemur, Anteater, Wolf

Solution

Numbat, spotted cuscus and flying phalanger are all Australian marsupials that radiated into different niches — burrower, arboreal browser, glider. The other options mix marsupials with placental mammals (bobcat, mole, flying squirrel, lemur, anteater, wolf), which is incorrect.
