hibernation has to do with winter, cold seasons
aestivation has to do with summer, dry seasons
So B is the correct answer

Based on swamy explanation.if hibernation has to do with cold season..then the answer is hibernation because durion the dry season the body metabolism of some animals slows to a minimal level by generating cold in the body..

They're very much the same thing. They're periods of dormancy to avoid inclement conditions. Hibernation is usually when an animal is trying to avoid winter. Aestivation is in hot countries where it's trying to avoid summer. It's avoiding the worst times

Hibernation is correct.
during hibernation there is greatly reduced metabolic rate

the tropics mayb cold nd in dis state d animals re dormant in a warm place.so dey hibernate
while aestivation is a short sleep usually during d day in summer but they re nt dormante.g frog,snake,snails aestivates
xo A is correct
