The correct answer is C. Mammals can produce milk for their offspring.

Mammals are the members of class mammalia. The word mammalia was derived from Latin word "mamma" which means "breasts" as they had a unique feature i.e. presence of mammary glands.

These glands were evolved from a special types of sweat glands and became specialized in the production of milk, especially in females.

They help the mothers in providing nourishment to the offspring.
