Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Whilst desert animals such as camels have evolved an internal 'air conditioning' system to help them stay cool, this is a process focused on keeping the brain cool whilst the rest of the body is hot, to ensure the animal's vital organs can function even in high temperatures. The alternative answers for this question all focus on the aquiring and retention of water.
