The correct answer is D. Animals not adapted to cold migrate to warmer regions, because suppose that the cold temperatures kill most of the plants, so if they can die why they select that place to live? The option B is not logical because this require long time to evolve this characteristic and the option C has more logic but it still not enough, because if the temperatures are colder more animals can die. I hope this help.

When the Tethys sea disappeared, they were caught in the shale layers of clay and transformed into fossils. This is one of the proofs that the Himalayas were indeed once under water.
