• B. Thick layer of fat under the skin.
• C. Long legs with flat and cushioned soles.
• D. White or silvery body colour.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Long legs with flat and cushioned soles.

Animals living in snowy regions have white or silvery body colour. The white colour helps them to blend with the surroundings (camouflage).
They have long and thick hair on their skin which provide insulation. A thick layer of fat under the skin also adds on to the insulation mechanism. These adaptations help maintain body temperature and thus protect animals from cold.
