Solution

The correct option is A

Thick fat layer


The white fur of the polar bear is camouflage against the ice allowing them to blend into their environment and sneak up on their prey. Polar bears are usually top carnivores and they are mostly hunted by humans. There is also a thick layer of blubber that helps insulate the polar bear from the cold.
