D.All of above

Answer 1

Hint: Igloo are houses that are built in very cold temperatures to keep oneself warm from the outside cold temperature. Igloos are also known as Iglu, snow hut or snow house, and as the name suggests igloos are snow made.

Complete answer: The correct option is option B, igloos are types of shelter built by snow. They are used in very cold and snowy regions to keep yourself warm.
An igloo is made temporarily and they are not permanent houses. Igloos were traditionally used by people of Canadian central arctic, but they are often used by Inuit and Eskimo people.
Igloos are not just made with any kind of snow, the snow that is layered on top of the land is generally soft. Thus, to make an igloo, you need to find the snow which can hold itself up, it is generally found below the first layer of snow on land.
One might wonder how something made out of snow keeps someone warm. After the igloo is built, the walls of the igloo don’t let outside wind come inside, thus the temperature does not drop much inside an igloo.
When you are inside an igloo, the heat that your body releases will not go outside as the walls of the igloo will work as an insulator of heat. Thus, this is how the temperature inside an igloo is much warmer than outside temperature.

Note:
An igloo can melt also, as the temperature inside rises up to a certain extent, the snow starts to melt slowly and the igloo will eventually fall down. Thus, igloos are used for temporary living only, you cannot live inside an igloo for too long. Also a shelter made out of cement is called a building and a shelter made out of wood is called a house or possibly a tree house.
