Solution

The correct option is D Camel
Camels are known as the ships of the desert mainly because of their physical characteristics which are well adapted to the conditions of the desert. They have large, flat feet covered by protective pads which helps in walking through hot desert sand. They are also blessed with double eyelashes, which protect them from sandstorms. Camels can even survive about a week without food and water using its fat storage. All these features make camels ideal for long trips through deserts.
