Solution
The correct option is B Layer of fat (blubber)
The polar bears are found only in the Arctic region where large glaciers are present. The climatic conditions are very harsh. In such harsh cold weather, polar bears protect themselves by having two protective covers on their body. The outer cover on their body is of thick fur and the inner cover, present below the skin, is of fat called blubber. Both these covers help the polar bears to retain warmth/heat required to maintain the body temperature. This is an excellent example of adaptation.
