The correct answer is: B and D are correct
Water is indispensable for every living organism on earth. It is used for transportation of nutrients, for photosynthesis, for maintaining shape & structure and also used as natural habitat by certain species. It plays a critical role in all the vital processes carried out by organisms. Mammals from colder climates generally have shorter ears and limbs to minimise heat loss.
