Answer 1

Answer:

C. stocky bodies covered with thick fur or feathers

Explanation:

Animals in the tundra generally have stocky bodies covered with thick fur or feathers.

A tundra is a very cold biome. In fact, it is the coldest of all the biomes found on the earth. This region is found in the Arctic and other parts of the world. It is treeless, very cold and has little to no precipitation all year round.

• Animals here must be highly adapted to the cold all year round.
• They must possess a stocky body with added layer of fats so as to insulate them from losing heat.
• Their thick feathers and furs serves are great advantage for them also in conserving  bodily heat.
• Examples of animals here are bears, foxes etc
