An opossum will pretend to be dead and become stiff when threatened.

Which statement is true about these adaptations?

B) The porcupine is showing a behavioral adaptation and the opossum is showing a life cycle adaptation.

C) Both the porcupine and the opossum are showing examples of behavioral adaptations.

D) The porcupine is showing a physical characteristic adaptation and the opossum is showing a behavioral adaptation.

D) The porcupine is showing a physical characteristic adaptation and the opossum is showing a behavioral adaptation.

Explanation:

Adaptation, which refers to the ability of an organism to adjust to changes in their external environment in order to survive, is of different types namely: physical/structural, behavioral etc.

- A physical or structural adaptation is a possessed physical characteristics/traits of an organism that enables it adapt.

- A behavioral adaptation is an organisms change in behavioral pattern or responses made to changes in the environment.

According to this question;

- A porcupine is said to have quills on its back which helps protect it from predators. This shows an example of STRUCTURAL or PHYSICAL ADAPTATION, which is the QUILLS it possesses.

- An opossum is said to pretend to be dead and become stiff when threatened. This is an example of BEHAVIORAL ADAPTATION because the opossum responds behaviorally to being threatened.

I think its the 4th one
