Solution

The correct option is C Adipose
The hump of the camel is made up of a connective tissue known as adipose tissue which stores fat to survive in adverse and dry conditions in the desert. The camel uses it as nourishment when food is scarce, converting fat into energy. If it uses the fat inside the hump, the hump becomes limp and droops down.
