Question

a rabbit lives in a temperate forest. which would be an adaptation for this rabbit?
a. being easily visible to prey
b. learning where ants hide
c. changing color when snow falls
d. being cut by a sharp stick

Explanation:

In a temperate forest, seasonal changes occur. When snow falls (winter season), a rabbit changing its color (like some rabbits have white fur in winter) helps it blend with the snowy environment. This camouflage (a form of adaptation) protects it from predators. Option A is bad as being visible to prey (assuming it's a typo and should be predators) is not an adaptation. Option B (learning where ants hide) is not a typical adaptation related to the forest environment's main challenges (like predation). Option D (being cut by a stick) is an injury, not an adaptation.

Answer:

C. Changing color when snow falls
