Solution

The correct option is C Opposable thumb
Arboreal animals spend most of their lives on trees. There are numerous such animals that eat as well as sleep on the tree canopy such as monkeys, koalas, parrot etc. For this they have opposable thumb which provides firm grip to help them to move on trees and grab and hold on to things.
Camouflage is an adaptation to mix with the surrounds to provide protection from predators as in Chameleon.
Thick skin helps in proving insulation to the body of those animals that are found in cold conditions.
Hibernation is winter sleep shown by frog during which it suspends its activities and burrows in the mud.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
