Solution

The correct option is C Fossorial
In desert biome, vegetation is scarce and soil is sandy. In desert grasslands, there is hot summer, cold winter, and seasonal rainfall (25-75 cms). Rainfall is short of forming forests and more than the amount that induces desert formation. Such habitats are ideal for grazing and burrowing or Fossorial animals like Sheep, Rabbit, Mice, Burrowing owl, Rats etc. These animals live underground inside burrows (in low temperature).
