I disagree , how is it possession of scrotum ,do birds or fishes which are vertebrates possess scrotum .. I think it is the presence of pentadactyl limbs.

The correct answer is:

C. the possession of scrotum

The scrotum, an external pouch that holds the testes, is unique to mammals. It plays a role in regulating the temperature of the testes for optimal man-fluid production, which is not found in other vertebrates.

when they say "unique to mammals" it means if not all, almost all mammals alone must possess it, scrotum is not even close to the answer and besides scrotum is mainly found in male animals so are you guys saying only male animal are mammal?... Answer is surely parental care
