B) The two groups of marsupials evolved independently of one another on two separate continents.

C) The continents were once connected, and marsupials were able to migrate over the land.

D) The oceans were shallow in prehistoric times, which allowed the marsupials to travel from one continent to another.

Answer:

C) The continents were once corrected and Marsupials are able to migrate over the land.

Explanation:

Marsupials are a group of animals which can give birth to young ones at an early stage and keep them in a pouch until they mature therefore also known as pouched mammals.

The evolutionary studies have shown that marsupials originated on a single landmass called Gondwana which separated into different continents. The marsupials used to live in the Gondwana land but after separation of land, the ancestors of marsupials separated and the marsupials evolved on the landmass of South America and Australia.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

The answer is letter C.
<span>
The interdependence of body systems is essential because all systems work together to maintain homeostasis. Homeostasis in body systems refers the regulation of internal conditions keeping it stable and relatively constant. In humans this refers to its ability to maintain stability in its internal environment while responding to changes in external conditions. It serves as a sensor that detects changes in the conditions that need to be regulated to meet the demands of the condition and give the necessary feedback. Regulation of body temperature and the balance between acidity and alkalinity are examples of homeostasis in the human body.</span>
