Question

art 1 - general science
an animal that is seasonally inactive for a long period of
time and sustains a lower metabolic rate is said to be
a migrating.
b posturing.
c imprinting.
d hibernating.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Migrating is the movement of animals from one region to another, not related to metabolic inactivity.
• Option B: Posturing refers to body positions for communication or display, not metabolic rate reduction.
• Option C: Imprinting is a learning process in young animals, not about metabolic inactivity.
• Option D: Hibernation is a state where animals are seasonally inactive with reduced metabolic rate.

Answer:

D. hibernating.
