Answer
A
venom glands and varied diet

small size and prolific reproduction
C
prolific reproduction and strong hind legs

strong hind legs and small size

Explanation

Cane toads can eat a wide variety of foods, which helps them thrive in different environments. Their venom glands also make them poisonous to many predators, reducing the number of animals that can eat them. Together, a varied diet and protection from predators help explain why they have spread successfully in Australia.
