Hibernation is a state of dormancy in an animal during the winters. It is characterized by low body temperature, slow breathing and heart rate, and low metabolic rate. Hibernation during the summer months is known as aestivation. Acclimatization is the process in which an individual organism adjusts to a gradual change in its environment to maintain metabolic activities. Adaptation refers to adjustments in ecological, social, or economic systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli and their effects or impacts. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
