Solution
The correct option is C Antifreeze proteins
Antifreeze proteins are the structural proteins which are formed in the plants, animals and other organisms. These are the proteins which are formed as an adaptation in the organisms wich can survive in the cold regions. In the regions where the temperature is low, there is a formation of ice crystals in the cell which results in the death of the organism. These proteins prevent the formation of ice crystals by reducing the metabolic rate. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
