Solution
The correct option is B Brown adipose tissue
Newborn human infants are very vulnerable to hypothermia for several reasons.They have higher ratio of body surface area to body volume.Their heads are proportionally larger.They have a small musculature.They cannot shiver.They are poorly insulated.They can't move to warmer areas.And their nervous systems are slow to respond to cold conditions.Fortunately, they have Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) which generates heat when they are cold.Brown Adipose Tissue is more closely related to Muscle Tissue than it is to White Adipose Tissue.Therefore, the correct answer is 'Brown Adipose Tissue'.
