An adaptation for defense in animals is?

A. croaking of a male toad
B. basking in lizard
C. spines in porcupine fish
D. huddling together of penguins

Correct Answer:

Option C – spines in porcupine fish

Explanation

The porcupine fish has spines on its body. The fish sucks in water and swells up to make the spines stick out. This transforms it from a small mouthful into an uneatable ball of prickly spines. Its flesh also contains a deadly poison as an extra defense.
