C)
Adaptation Function Sticky pads on the underside of the feet To walk on walls and ceilings without falling
D)
Adaptation Function Tail that can drop off and wriggles for a while To attract mates for reproduction
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Lizards, if get captured by the tail, shed (drop off) the tail and are able to flee. The detached tail continues to wriggle for some time creating a deceptive sense of continued struggle and distracting the predator's attention from the fleeing prey animal. The lizard can partially regenerate its tail over a period of weeks. Thus, it is a self-defense mechanism to elude a predator's grasp and not to attract mates for reproduction.
