Solution

The correct option is A Stenohaline
Temperature is one of the most important abiotic factors in an ecosystem. An inactive state resembling deep sleep in certain animals living in cold climates to survive the winter is called hibernation. During hibernation, the body temperature of animals lowers and the breathing and heart rate slows down. Hibernation protects the animal from cold and reduces the need for food as food is scarce in that season.
