Solution
The correct option is B False
Answer: False
All mammals including humans are warm blooded (endothermal: body heat generated from inside); so are birds. They all maintain a constant body temperature even if it is very cold or hot outside.
The body temperature of cold-blooded animals (ectothermal) organisms fluctuates with the environmental temperature. Example: frog, snake, and many more.
