Solution

The correct option is C Poikilothermic
Poikilotherms are cold blooded animals which cannot maintain constant body temperature and are hence affected by temperature changes in environment e.g., reptile, amphibians. Homeotherms are the warm-blooded animal that maintains their constant body temperature and hence not affect by temperature change in environment e.g., birds and mammals. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
