Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
The earliest turtles were known from around 200 million years ago, which makes turtles one of the oldest reptile groups, and a much more ancient group than the lizards and snakes. About 300 species are alive today. Some are highly endangered. Turtles vary widely in size, although, marine turtles tend to be relatively bigger animals than their land and freshwater relatives. The largest is a marine turtle, which reaches a shell length of 200 cm and can reach a weight of over 900 kg. Freshwater turtles are generally smaller. They became extinct at the same time as the appearance of Man, and it is assumed that humans hunted them for food. Most turtles and tortoises have eyes placed on the upper sides of their heads. Species of turtles that spend most of their life on land have their eyes looking down at objects in front of them. The color of a turtle’s shell may vary. Shells are commonly colored brown, black, or olive green.
In some species, shells may have red, orange, yellow, or grey markings and these markings are often spots, lines. Even though many spend large amounts of their lives underwater, all turtles and tortoises are air-breathing reptiles, and must surface at regular intervals to refill their lungs with fresh air. They can also spend a lot of their lives on dry land. Sea turtles lay their eggs on dry sandy beaches, and are highly endangered largely as a result of beach development and over hunting. Immature sea turtles are not raised by their parents.
