Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

While desert lizards are well-adapted to their environment, they lack the physiological ability (like sweating or internal temperature regulation) that mammals have to deal with high temperatures. Instead, they rely on behavioural adaptations, such as basking in the sun to warm up and moving into the shade or burrowing underground when it gets too hot.
