Question

The Adélie penguins feed on krill that live on the underside of ice sheets. Which of the following would help Adélie penguins survive during the melting of Antarctic sea ice?

Migrating farther into the sea
Breeding during summer months
Growing strong toe nails to grip ice
Spending more time raising their young

Answer 1

Am I right with A?

Answer 2

Correct! The penguins would have to migrate to find more ice sheets considering that their prey, krill, only live underneath ice sheets. As such, concepts such as breeding, growing toenails to grip ice, and spending more time raising young does not relate directly to the issue of prey loss.
