B Correct answer
Explanation

Camels are well adapted to the heat of a desert. Their bodies are adapted variably to fit well over there. Deserts have scarcity of water. So to conserve water, camels have long legs to stay away from the heat of the sun. They do not sweat much. They excrete less urine and almost dry dung. Thus, all these characteristics of camels help in conserving water.
