B Correct answer
Explanation

Kangaroo rats have highly efficient kidneys that can extract water from dry seeds as they digest them, producing very concentrated urine. Camels store fat in humps (not water) and are efficient but don't metabolically create water. Fennecs rely on food sources and dawn/dusk activity. Ground squirrels use estivation rather than metabolic water production.
