Solution

The correct option is B summer
Aestivation is a state of dormancy, similar to hibernation, characterised by inactivity and lowered metabolic rate in the organism, in response to high temperatures and arid conditions. Hibernation is usually when an animal is trying to avoid winter. Aestivation is a behavioral adaptation to tolerate summer.
