Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Structural adaptations are how the animal’s body functions or looks on the outside. Body parts (like feet and ears) and body coverings (like fur and scales) are structural adaptations. Blanding’s Turtles and other species of turtles have a structural adaptation that is very easy to see-their shells.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to the National Park Service, there are three major strategies for animals, as well as insects and plants, to survive through cold temperatures: migration, hibernation and resistance (tolerance).
Detailed explanation-3: -In cold climate, reduced surface area to volume ratio is ideal. So, the correct answer is ‘Reduced surface area to volume ratio’.
