Answer 1

The correct option is C It stores fat in its hump which can be broken down when it needs energy

Camel is called the 'ship of the desert'. It is used for transportation. It stores food in the form of fat in its hump for future use. Camels have long eyelashes and hair in their ears, which helps to keep out the sand. They have thick lips and tongue which help them to eat desert plants and also they have wide and thick feet which makes it easy for them to walk on sand without sinking in.
