Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of structural adaptation: Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that enhance its survival and reproduction in its environment. These adaptations are part of the organism's anatomy or morphology.
Analyze the options provided: Review each example to determine if it describes a physical feature (structural adaptation) or a behavior (behavioral adaptation).
Option A: A bear hibernating during cold months is a behavioral adaptation because it describes an action or behavior the bear performs to survive winter conditions.
Option B: A rabbit learning to avoid predators is also a behavioral adaptation because it involves learning and behavior rather than a physical feature.
Option C: A bird migrating south for the winter is another behavioral adaptation, as it describes a seasonal movement behavior. The correct answer is the long neck of a giraffe, which is a structural adaptation because it is a physical feature that helps the giraffe reach high leaves for food.
