Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Ectotherms cannot insulate (stop heat loss from) their bodies and can only control their body temperature by changing location.

Ectotherms, such as reptiles and amphibians, rely on external environmental conditions to regulate their body temperature and typically cannot generate or retain body heat through metabolic processes like endotherms (birds and mammals).
