C Correct answer
Explanation

'Carry' is the correct word because marsupials carry their young in pouches. The sentence explains why kangaroos are called marsupials - because they carry their babies in external pouches. 'Put' and 'stick' are too casual. 'Throw' is incorrect as it doesn't describe how marsupials care for their young.
