Worked Solution

Step 1: Thick blubber acts as an insulator to trap body heat. Step [2-9]: A small surface-area-to-volume ratio reduces the rate of heat loss to the surroundings. Step [2-9]: Both adaptations are essential for survival in freezing polar climates.

Correct answer: A cold polar region
