well answer should be D. Because the question mean having other uses except water conservation , and bird feathers should be correct.
That's my observation
BUT THE FEATHERS IN BIRDS CAN BE USED FOR FLIGHT AND REGULATION OF BODY TEMPERATURE.THE ANSWER SHOULD BE D.
This question is quiet tricky
Succulent stem can also be used for gaseous exchange
Scales can also be used for protection
Spines in xerophyte can also be used as an adaptive feature for escaping from predators
Feathers in bird can also aid flight
😔😔😔
the answer is D @myschool please make corrections now to avoid unncesaary failing of candidates who look up to this site
myschool and wrong answers Sha f**kkkkk 🤦🤦🤦
you are just confusing someone, ehnn
nawa oo
Please admin, your answer is wrong because other than means except for. So, the only structure in the option which can't be used for water conversation is Feather. Thereby making the answer to be D. Pls make the correction.
The ans is D.feathers are of diff types-down for insulation,quill for flight,contour for cover and shape.
this is a typical question jamb set to confuse their candidate first you need to understand the words OTHER THAN it means except from or apart from it does NOT means in addition to, so the question here says that all are use for water conservering except for one and that one is obviously feather in bird, feather do not converse water but act as an insulator against cold English phrase can be very tricky at times
Feathers insulate birds from water and cold temperatures. They may also be plucked to line the nest and provide insulation to the eggs and young. The individual feathers in the wings and tail play important roles in controlling flight. Some species have a crest of feathers on their heads.
