I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The hummingbird adaptation that is most advantageous for supporting their high metabolism is the entering torpor. These are the tiniest bird in the world but is also the biggest eater. They feed on nectar and insect. When they can’t eat especially on cold temperatures, these birds go in a sleeping state called torpor in order to conserve energy.
