Correct Answer

B

Explanation

Desert environment is usually very hot during the day. Nocturnal animals (that is animals that are active during the night) usually come out at night to feed. During the day, they burrow into the soil and hide. Nocturnal habits are habits or actions that are performed only at night. Desert animals have reduced number of sweat glands to reduce sweating and conserve water.
