c. Opossums play dead to evade predators.
Explanation: When threatened, opossums can enter a reflexive, catatonic state ("playing possum"), often emitting a foul odor to mimic decay. The other statements are false: they are marsupials that give birth to live underdeveloped young, are mainly nocturnal, and are larger than squirrels.
