Solution

The correct option is A Emperor penguins travelling annually to breeding grounds
Suspension in organisms (plants and animals) is a state of dormancy, during which the regular activities of the organism are literally suspended in order to escape harsh environmental conditions. Hibernation (winter sleep) and aestivation (summer sleep) in animals are well-known methods of suspension in animals. Seed dormancy in plants is also an example of suspension. Emperor penguins travelling annually to breeding grounds is an example of migration.
