Firms a and b can conduct research and development (r& d) or not conduct it. r& d is costly but can increase the quality of the product and increase sales. the payoff matrix is the economic profits of the two firms and is given above, where the numbers are millions of dollars. a's best strategy is to not conduct r& d regardless of what b does.
a) conduct r& d only if b conducts r& d.
b) conduct r& d regardless of what b does.
c) conduct r& d only if b does not conduction r& d.

answer; i believe the answer is (facework);

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
