Correct Option is c .
Fat is made up of adipose tissue which acts as an insulator in the body due to its fat storage. these fat molecules are bad conductors of heat and do not allow the conduction of heat. Hence, the thick layer of fat for insulation is an adaptation for mammals of both taiga and marine aquatic biomes.
