TestHub · Accepted Answer

Behavioural adaptation is shown by the desert lizard which basks in the sun and absorbs heat when its body temperature drops below the comfort zone.

Morphological adaptation is seen in seals which have a thick layer of fat called blubber below their skin that acts as an insulator to reduce body heat loss.

Physiological adaptation is observed in desert plants which use a special photosynthetic pathway called Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) that enables their stomata to remain closed during the day to minimise water loss.

Thus, the correct matching is $A - q - iii$ , $B - p - ii$ , $C - r - i$ .

Answer: $A - q - iii, B - p - ii, C - r - i$
