The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Allen's Rule**: Allen's Rule states that animals living in colder climates tend to have shorter appendages (like ears and limbs) compared to those living in warmer climates. This adaptation helps minimize heat loss. 2. **Identifying the Statement**: The question states that according to Allen's Rule, body appendages of animals in colder regions are larger than those in warmer parts. 3. **Evaluating the Statement**: Based on Allen's Rule, this statement is incorrect. Animals in colder regions have smaller appendages to reduce the surface area through which heat can be lost. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct interpretation of Allen's Rule is that mammals in colder climates have smaller appendages compared to those in warmer climates. The original statement claiming they are larger is false. 5. **Final Answer**: The statement is false according to Allen's Rule. ---
