Which animal adaptation is well-suited for the canopy of a tropical rainforest?
a) hooves of the forest antelope
b) the pythons ability to crush its prey
c) the prehensile gripping tail of a spider monkey
d) the hand-like trunk and large grinding teeth of the african forest elephant

The correct answer is C) The prehensile gripping tail of a spider monkey

Explanation:

An adaption makes an organism or species more suitable to survive and reproduce in a specific environment. This includes behaviors as well as physical features such as organs. This implies, in the case of the canopy of a tropical rainforest one effective adaptation is "The prehensile gripping tail of a spider monkey" because this type of tail allows the spider monkey to move faster in the forest, which contributes to the monkeys finding resources such as food and scaping from possible predators. Therefore, a prehensile gripping tail is an adaptation in this context as it makes this species more likely to survive and reproduce. Also, other options re not directly related to the canopy of the tropical rainforest.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
