Solution

The correct options are
A Thick skin
C Nostrils protected with skin

Desert animals possess thick skin to prevent water loss due to extreme hot conditions. These animals have long legs with flat and cushioned soles. They have long and thick eyelashes and their nostrils are protected with skin folds to prevent sand from entering their eyes and nose respectively.
