The correct answer is letter C) Their frozen circulatory systems thaws in the spring. Amphibians that have to deal with severe cold winters, have specific properties (for example, sugars) in their blood and tissue, that allows them to freeze without harm to their tissues. Later on, when the spring comes, they thaw and resume their activity.
