The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Blubber**: Blubber is a thick layer of fat found beneath the skin of certain animals. It serves as an insulator to reduce heat loss, particularly in cold environments. 2. **Identifying the Function of Blubber**: The primary function of blubber is to keep the body warm by minimizing the loss of body heat. This is especially important for animals living in cold climates. 3. **Recognizing Animals with Blubber**: Blubber is typically found in aquatic mammals that inhabit polar regions. Examples of such mammals include whales and seals. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option A: This** - Not a mammal; hence, incorrect. - **Option B: Penguin** - Penguins are birds, not mammals; hence, incorrect. - **Option C: Seal** - Seals are mammals that live in polar areas and have blubber; hence, correct. - **Option D: Camel** - Camels live in desert areas, not polar regions; hence, incorrect. 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Seal**, as it is a mammal that possesses blubber, which acts as an insulator to reduce heat loss in cold environments.
