a male darwins frog keeps his babies safe from predators.

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The passage says the male frog hides babies in his throat, not that he stops croaking when they grow. Eliminate.
• Option 2: The passage states "When the froglets are grown, he spits them out", not "forces the babies out". Eliminate.
• Option 3: The passage mentions "Helpless baby Darwin’s frogs would make a great snack for rodents, snakes, and birds" and the male frog hides them in his throat, so he protects them from these predators. This matches.

Answer:

The father forces the babies out of his mouth when they are fully grown. (Wait, no, correction: The correct option is "The father protects his babies from hungry rodents, snakes, and birds" as the passage says the male hides them to keep them safe from these predators who would eat them. So the answer is the third option: The father protects his babies from hungry rodents, snakes, and birds.
