Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

Mammals are endothermic (warm-blooded) and can regulate their body temperature internally, allowing them to survive in a wide range of environmental temperatures.

Incorrect → Snowy owls can tolerate cold conditions well.

Though amphibians are sensitive to temperature, the statement is incomplete/generalized.

Reptiles are ectothermic and usually have a narrower distribution range.
