Correct option is B
Sol: The correct answer is (b) Camels are used for transportation in deserts.
Key Points:
- The phrase "A camel is called the ship of the desert" is derived from the fact that camels are often used as a primary mode of transportation in desert regions. Just as ships are used to travel across the sea, camels are used to travel across the desert,
- camels can travel at a speed of 4 km per hour across the harsh desert, which makes them a reliable means of transport in such challenging environments.
- Camels' incredible ability to survive without water for up to 15 days is crucial in the water-scarce deserts, allowing them to endure extreme conditions. Their hump(s) store fat, which the camel uses for energy when water is unavailable.
