Polar bears are restricted to a narrow range of temperature hence they are
- AEurythermal
- Correct answerBStenothermal
- CEuryhaline
- DStenohaline
Solution
Organisms that can tolerate and thrive in a wide range of temperatures are called eurythermal.
Organisms that are restricted to a narrow range of temperatures are called stenothermal.
Since polar bears are restricted to a narrow range of temperature, they are stenothermal.
Euryhaline and stenohaline refer to tolerance to wide and narrow ranges of salinity, respectively.
Answer: Stenothermal
Organisms that are restricted to a narrow range of temperatures are called stenothermal.
Since polar bears are restricted to a narrow range of temperature, they are stenothermal.
Euryhaline and stenohaline refer to tolerance to wide and narrow ranges of salinity, respectively.
Answer: Stenothermal
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
