The correct options are
A Strong and flexible hooves.
B More number of RBCs.
C Thick skin
The animals found in mountainous areas are adapted in such a way as to survive in harsh climatic conditions.
For example: A mountain goat. Its legs are long and they have strong and flexible hooves for running on rocky slopes. They have a fur covered body to trap in the heat. The most important thing to notice in these organisms is the increased number of RBCs to make up for the reduced oxygen levels.
