Question

How big is the largest land animal in Antarctica?
A)About 13mm long
B)About 13m long
C)About 13cm long
D)None of these

Answer 1

Hint: 1)This is the largest solely terrestrial species native to the continent.
2)It is native to the Antarctic continent and not found anywhere else.
3)It is a wingless fly frozen in the Antarctic ice that spends much of its two-year larval period.

Complete answer:
Option 1 is the answer that is right.
A wingless midge, Belgica antarctica, which is less than 1.3 cm long, is the largest land animal in Antarctica. In Antarctica, all the other, larger, species are called marine animals, meaning they eat and live mostly in the ocean.

Following are the given options:
About 13mm long : A wingless midge, Belgica antarctica, which is about 13 mm long, is the largest land animal in the Antarctic. Thus Option 1 is the right answer.
About 13m long :In Antarctica, the largest land animal is about 13mm tall. Thus Option 2 is the wrong option.
About 13cm long : In Antarctica, the largest land animal is 13mm tall. Thus this option is wrong too.
None of these : The largest land animal in Antarctica is around 13mm long that is about 1.3 cm. Thus this option is wrong too.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)

Note: The only continent with no indigenous ant species is Antarctica.
Birds' flightlessness. Antarctica may be an adaptation to avoid the blowing of wind into inhospitable regions. It may survive freezing, but this insect may not survive temperatures below -15 ° C, while local air temperatures can reach as low as -40 ° C.
To accommodate the cold weather, Antarctica accumulates trehalose, erythritol, and glucose. By reducing the amount of ice that develops inside the body, these compounds assist the insect to withstand freezing.
