A Correct answer
Explanation

Hedgehogs are easily recognized by their sharp spines, which are modified hairs made of keratin that cover their back and sides. These spines act as a defense mechanism when the hedgehog rolls into a tight ball. They do not have shiny fur, and their noses or smell are not their most distinctive visual features.
