Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allen's Rule states that in endothermic animals, species living in colder climates tend to have shorter limbs and appendages compared to those living in warmer climates. This is because shorter limbs reduce heat loss, helping to conserve body heat in colder environments. Therefore, option C, "the colder the climate, the shorter the limbs", is the correct answer.
