An example of a behavioral adaptation is
A
The long neck of a giraffe
B
Penguins huddling together for warmth
C
A camel’s hump used to store water
D
A polar bear’s white fur used for camouflage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Emperor penguins form large huddles. Huddles allow them to share body warmth, and shelters many of the penguins from the wind. The huddle constantly moves so that all the penguins have a turn in the middle. Huddling can reduce heat loss by up to 50%.

Detailed explanation-2: -The center of a penguin huddle, a form of social thermoregulation, can reach temperatures of up to 37° Celsius (98.6° Fahrenheit). It’s so warm that the center penguins keep moving through the huddle so that they don’t overheat, while penguins on the outside move inward to get warm.
