The desert tortoise digs and burrow and hides in it during the day to stay cool because of the extreme heat above ground. which characteristics of life does this behavior best illustrate

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"The desert tortoise digs a burrow and hides in it during the day to stay cool, because of the extreme heat above ground. Which characteristic of life does this behavior best illustrate?

A- response  B- metabolism  C- cellular organization  D- growth and development"

A- response  

Explanation:

An answer is the characteristic of life that this behavior illustrates. The term "response" is used to describe a behavior that a living being adopts in relation to a sternal stimulus, which can disturb or benefit the organism.

We can say that the question above is a good example of an "answer", because the turtle adopts the behavior of digging a hole and hiding in it during the day, because this allows the turtle to protect itself from the heat, which is an external stimulus that it bothers her.

doctors i believe if i'm wrong sorry

equal distribution i think.
