Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
Aestivation is a state of dormancy that some animals enter during periods of heat and dryness. This is similar to hibernation, but it occurs in response to environmental conditions of high temperature and water scarcity, rather than cold. Therefore, the correct answer is drought, as it leads to the environmental conditions that trigger aestivation.
