Correct Answer

A. Largest land mammal to hop

Explanation

The kangaroo is the most unique among land mammals because it is the largest land mammal that hops. While other land mammals may have their own unique characteristics, such as living in Australia, being a marsupial, or staying in groups, none of them possess the ability to hop like the kangaroo does. This distinctive form of locomotion sets the kangaroo apart from all other land mammals, making it truly unique in this aspect.

This is because their legs are adapted for forward propulsion and not for moving in the opposite direction. Therefore, hopping backward is not a capability that kangaroos possess.
