Solution

The correct option is D Adipose
The camel's hump is not a water storage organ but a thick hump of fat containing adipose tissue to protect the animal's internal organs from the heat of the desert. When this tissue is metabolized, it yields more than one gram of water for every gram of fat processed. Hence, option D is correct.
