 For the adjective meaning deficient or lean, meager is the preferred spelling in American English. Meagre is preferred in all other varieties of English. Other than the spelling, there is no difference between the two forms.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is because the internet is full of information. If you just search, "kangaroo", you'll get alot of articles and websites about the kangaroo.
