Which of the following statements about opossums is true? a. opossums do not give birth to live young. b. opossums are mainly active during the day. c. opossums play dead to evade predators. d. opossums are similar in size to squirrels.

c. Opossums play dead to evade predators.

Explanation:

Opossums are marsupials and endemic to the regions of America. They are known to display a very unique physiological behavior of playing dead whenever they are under stress due to encounter with a predator. Playing dead is an involuntary response which occurs automatically in the body of opossums which may last from 40 minutes to 4 hours.

Rest of the options are wrong because opossums are viviparous not oviparous. They are nocturnal i.e. active during night & inactive during daytime. They are bigger in size as compared to squirrels.
