Explanation:

Correct: Pangolins roll up into a tight ball when threatened, using their tough keratin scales as armor to protect their vulnerable parts.

Incorrect: While hedgehogs do roll into a ball to protect themselves with their spines, marmots do not use this behavior as a defense mechanism. Instead, marmots typically rely on burrows and their ability to give warning calls to avoid predators.
