Consider the following four conditions (i) - (iv) and select the correct pair of them as adaptation to environment in desert lizards. The conditions: (i) Burrowing in soil to escape high temperature (ii) Losing heat rapidly from the body during high temperature (iii) Bask in sun when temperature is low (iv) Insulating body due to thick fatty dermis

1. (a) (iii), (iv)
2. (b) (i) and (iii)
3. (c) (ii), (iv)
4. (d) (i), (ii)

Correct answer: (b) (i) and (iii)
