Answer:

d. A smaller body size

Explanation:

The smaller a body size is the larger the body surface area is. Larger body surface area would allow for increase in lost of more excess heat to the environment.

Therefore, hypothetically, one of the obvious adaptation that would be evolved by the rat population that was moved from their previous cold northern tundra climate to a desert environment is a smaller body size. This would enable them in cooling off and preventing over-heating.
