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 is C

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.
