Solution

The correct option is C migration
Migration is a behavioural pattern exhibited by many animals and birds in which organisms move away temporarily from stressful habitat to a more hospitable area and return when the stressful period is over.

Animals like bears and frog go into a state of inactive and metabolic depression during winter to avoid cold. This behaviour is known as hibernation.

On the other hand, some snails and fish go into an inactive state to avoid summer related problems like heat and dessication. This behaviour is known as aestivation.

Under unfavourable conditions, many zooplankton species enter into a stage of suspension development called diapause.
