C Correct answer
Explanation

The word 'powerful' is the correct choice because the tail must be strong and muscular to effectively balance the kangaroo's body while hopping. The passage earlier describes kangaroos as 'very powerful animals,' and this description logically extends to their tails, which are crucial for their movement. 'Curved,' 'thin,' and 'straight' don't convey the necessary strength.
