Question
- A. Staying active all year round
- B. Building burrows for shelter
- C. Hibernating during the summer
- D. Feeding on tropical fruits
Answer
The correct answer is Building burrows for shelter.
Explanation
The correct option is Building burrows for shelter. Building burrows for shelter is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain how plants and animals adapt to cold environment physical conditions. This belongs to Cold environments (optional route) within Section B: The living world, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Cold environments (optional route), reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Adaptations
Students often confuse general survival strategies with specific adaptations of plants and animals to cold environments.
Focus on specific examples of adaptations, such as how animals have thick fur or blubber for insulation, and how plants may have antifreeze-like substances in their cells.
