A Correct answer
Explanation

'Hopping' is the correct action because kangaroos use their tails specifically to balance while hopping, which is their primary mode of locomotion. The sentence 'They use these to hop' earlier in the passage directly references this movement. While 'bouncing' and 'jumping' are similar, 'hopping' is the specific term for kangaroo movement. 'Springing' is not typically used to describe kangaroo locomotion.
