C Correct answer
Explanation

Amundsen used Greenland sled dogs (52 dogs, all but 11 eaten or sacrificed). Scott used ponies and motorized sleds which failed, then man-hauled. Ski-doos didn't exist in 1911. Dog sleds were proven effective for Arctic/Antarctic travel by indigenous peoples and earlier explorers.
