Solution

The correct option is C Hump on its back
Camels have several adaptations that help them to survive in the deserts.They have a thick coat of hair that protects them from sun. They have wide, soft feet, which help them walk for a long time in the hot sand. They also have large feet that spreads their weight on the sand when they are walking. When there is availability of food and water, a camel can eat and drink large amounts and store it as fat in its hump. Oxidation of this stored fat provides camel with the water and energy required for its sustenance.
