Answer:

The correct answer is - chicks will not be able to survive in water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Penguins spend the majority of their life in the water and for mating and moult they move to land and also lay their eggs on land. The wings or flippers of the chicks of these penguins are not as efficient as the wings of the adult penguins.

This makes it tough to survive on the waters for the chicks of penguins. Therefore they move to land even they are very clumsy on the land. The mating, molt and raising the chicks to few weeks are the prime reason.
