Solution

The correct option is A Hibernation
Hibernation is a state of dormancy in endotherms, characterized by low body temperature, slow breathing and heart rate, and low metabolic rate. This property of animals helps them to survive in the altered situation. This is mainly shown by cold-blooded animals in which the body temperature fluctuates with the sourrounding.
So, the correct answer is option A.
