Question

• A. Avoid fatal cold
• B. Avoid death due to hunger
• C. Avoid dreadful winter animals
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Avoid fatal cold

Hibernation is a state of ‘dormancy’, like a long, deep sleep where the frogs’ activities slow way down for the winter. Frogs hibernate as an adaptation (a trait that helps them survive) to really cold temperatures. Some frogs in warmer climates also hideout, entering a state of dormancy to pass summer months that are hot and dry, a process called estivation.

So, the correct answer is 'Avoid fatal cold'.
