    A. True
    Explanation
    Female lobsters do indeed carry their eggs with their swimmerets. The swimmerets are small, feathery appendages located on the underside of the lobster's abdomen. They are used for swimming and also serve as a protective chamber for the eggs. The female lobster fertilizes her eggs internally and then carries them with her swimmerets until they hatch. This behavior is unique to female lobsters and is an important part of their reproductive process.

    Correct Answer
    B. Molting
    Explanation
    Female lobsters are ready to mate after molting. Molting is the process where lobsters shed their old exoskeleton and grow a new one. During this period, female lobsters become more vulnerable and seek shelter, making it an opportune time for mating. Once the new exoskeleton hardens, they are ready to mate and reproduce. This process ensures that the female lobster is physically prepared to carry and protect the eggs during the mating process.
