The correct answer is option B) i.e. they are having a positive impact on the environment by acting as decomposers.

By acting as decomposers beetles are helping in recycling of nutrients between biotic (organisms) and abiotic factors (enviroment). So, it may be considered as positive impact on the environment. Decomposers play a very important role in food chains and food webs. They breakdown biomolecules and liberate the micronutrients and micronutrients as inorganic molecules back to the environment. These inorganic molecules are used by plants once again  to synthesize biomolecules. This is how nutrient cycle operates with the help of decomposers. For example, protein molecules of dead and decaying matter are broken down by decomposers to liberate nitrogen gas to the environment which is utilized by leguminous plants to make protein molecules again.

Answer:

lose more heat to the environment in cold environments

Explanation:

This is because as an animal have large surface area, it is exposed largely and prone to loss of heat. The larger the size of an animal, the larger the surface area and volume. It's surface area expose the tendency for the animal to sweat alot , through sweating heat is loss to the environment. In cold environment, the animal try to maintain internal homeostasis and through this heat is generated and loss to the environment.
