B Padded feet and humps for fat storage
Correct Answer
C Thick fur and countercurrent heat exchange
D Long necks and stocky bodies
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Camels have padded feet that prevent sinking into desert sand, and humps that store fat (not water) as an energy reserve. These structural adaptations allow them to traverse sandy terrain and survive periods of food scarcity in harsh desert environments.

Hint

These features help with walking on sand and storing energy for long journeys.
