Solution

The correct option is A Poorwill
Birds are generally regulators, that is they have the ability to maintain a constant internal body temperature according to external climate, so they don't need any summer or winter hibernation. The only bird which is conformer is the Poorwill. The common poorwill is the only bird known to go into torpor for extended periods (weeks to months).
So, the correct option is 'Poorwill'.
