Question

1. how is the birth of seahorses different from the birth of penguins? *

seahorses are born on ice.
seahorses are born in a pouch.
seahorses are protected by their fathers at birth.
seahorses dont eat anything for months.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: Seahorses live in water, not on ice (penguins' habitat has ice). Eliminate.
• Option 2: Animals like marsupials (e.g., kangaroos) are born in pouches; seahorses aren’t. Eliminate.
• Option 3: Male seahorses have a brood pouch to carry eggs, and after birth, the father’s role in protection is distinct. Penguins’ parents (usually both, or mother/father in turns) protect, but seahorse fathers’ protection at birth is a key difference.
• Option 4: Newborn seahorses need to eat, and not eating for months is incorrect. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. Seahorses are protected by their fathers at birth.
