Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
During breeding season, a female lays hundreds of eggs, until they hatch.
She carries them wherever she goes and the eggs are kept aerated, by the slow back and forth movements of pleopods.
The female is now said to be in birthing.
The eggs hanging from pleopods look like berries or bunches of grapes.
