Answer: b.
Tundra bumblebees are adapted to cold: they have dense hairs for insulation, can shiver their flight muscles to generate heat, and can raise their body (thorax) temperature many tens of degrees above ambient. They are not active only under warm conditions — they remain active in cold weather.
