It would help if you proofread your questions before you posted them, e.g., increase.

Agree with A
Hey, I chose C because the cuticle skin over the body would increase the water in the body.
It would not be D because if you have light skin in the hot, arid areas you will get hot and start to darken.
It would not be B because the color of your skin has nothing to do with the amount of water you get.
So now it is between A and B.
I did not think it would be A because capacity to store body fat to survive periods of food storage would be for cold weather and for polar bears. The answer is A but my teacher said the most accurate answer would have been A. So pick A.
its A
It is A.
Yes, you are correct. The most likely adaptation to increase the chances of survival in hot arid climates would be the capacity to store body fat to survive periods of food scarcity. This allows the animal to have a source of energy when food is limited, helping it to survive in harsh conditions.
