Solution

The correct option is C
Thin skin with scales

Animals living in the polar region such as the polar bear have a thick layer of fat and a thick fur to withstand the cold. They also have wide and large paws which help them walk better on ice or snow. They have a good sense of smell and are usually white in colour to hide from their prey while hunting. Thin skin with scales is an adaptation in reptiles.
