Solution

The correct option is A When water is not available camels do not produce urine but store urea in tissues.
When water is not available, the camels produce dry faeces and concentrated urine but store urea in tissues and depend upon metabolic water. Fat is stored in the hump and water is obtained from its metabolism.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
