Solution

The correct option is D Aestivation
Aestivation is a state of animal dormancy, characterized by inactivity and a lowered metabolic rate, that is entered in response to high temperatures and arid conditions.
Invertebrate and vertebrate animals are known to enter this state to avoid damage from high temperatures and the risk of desiccation.
So, the correct option is 'Aestivation'.
