Hibernation to lower metabolism in the winter.
Explanation: tundra is very cold with long winters, so some animals (e.g., Arctic ground squirrels) hibernate to conserve energy. The other options are not typical tundra adaptations: permafrost leads to shallow, not deep, roots; plants don’t need funnel-shaped leaves for runoff; and animals tend to have small extremities (not large ears) to conserve heat.
