Species Types

* **Statement I is correct:** Marsupials, which are a type of mammal characterised by the presence of a pouch (marsupium) for carrying their young, are not naturally found in India. Marsupials are primarily native to the Americas and Australia. * **Statement II is incorrect:** Marsupials can thrive in a variety of habitats, not just montane grasslands without predators. Many marsupial species are found in a wide range of ecosystems, including forests, savannas, and even urban areas, and can coexist with a variety of predators. Therefore, the correct answer is: Statement-I is correct, and Statement II is incorrect.

1. **Carabid beetles:** Many carabid beetles are predatory, and some species are known to be parasitoids, particularly of other insects. 2. **Centipedes:** Centipedes are predatory arthropods and not parasitoids. They hunt and kill their prey. 3. **Flies:** The order Diptera (flies) includes a large number of parasitoid species. For example, Tachinid flies are parasitoids of various insects. 4. **Termites:** Termites are not parasitoids. They are social insects that primarily feed on wood and other plant matter. 5. **Wasps:** The order Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants) has numerous parasitoid species. Many wasp species are parasitoids, laying their eggs on or in other insects. _Therefore, parasitoid species are found in Carabid beetles, Flies, and Wasps._
