Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Xeromorphic describe the structural modifications of certain plants (xerophytes) that enable them to reduce water loss, particularly from their leaves and stems.
Hibernation is a state of inactivity and metabolic depression in endotherms. Hibernation refers to a season of heterothermy characterized by low body temperature, slow breathing and heart rate, and low metabolic rate. The state of inactivity and a low metabolic process performed by the animals during the winters is known as Hibernation. It is also known as winter sleep.Â
