If the pulmonary artery is blocked, blood would go back up to the right ventricle of the heart.
<h3>What is pulmonary artery stenosis? </h3>
The pulmonary artery is responsible for carrying the deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs to get oxygenated.
Pulmonary artery stenosis is a condition in which the pulmonary artery gets narrowed or blocked. Therefore, blood flow from the heart to the lungs is hampered.
This creates pressure on the walls of the heart. Also, if blood flow towards the lungs is hampered, the heart will not receive the required amount of oxygen. All of this will lead to damage to the heart muscles over the course of time.
Therefore, as a result of the pulmonary blockage, blood would first back up into the right ventricle.

Couldn’t have said it any better.
Answer:
D) The porcupine is showing a physical characteristic adaptation and the opossum is showing a behavioral adaptation.
Explanation:
Adaptation, which refers to the ability of an organism to adjust to changes in their external environment in order to survive, is of different types namely: physical/structural, behavioral etc.
- A physical or structural adaptation is a possessed physical characteristics/traits of an organism that enables it adapt.
- A behavioral adaptation is an organisms change in behavioral pattern or responses made to changes in the environment.
According to this question;
- A porcupine is said to have quills on its back which helps protect it from predators. This shows an example of STRUCTURAL or PHYSICAL ADAPTATION, which is the QUILLS it possesses.
- An opossum is said to pretend to be dead and become stiff when threatened. This is an example of BEHAVIORAL ADAPTATION because the opossum responds behaviorally to being threatened.
