Solution
The correct option is D Eurytherms
Eurytherms are organisms that can survive a wide range of temperatures.
In contrast, stenotherms can function only in a narrow range. Fishes, for example Salvelinus fontinalis, that is Brook trout, a type of endemic species, can survive only between 13 to 18 degree Celsius. Other examples of stenotherms are reptiles and seals.
Poikilotherms are cold-blooded animals that track environmental temperatures. Ectotherms are again another name for cold-blooded animals whose body temperature changes in response to environmental temperatures.
