A lizard living in a desert comes out early in the morning to search for food but hides inside a burrow when the temperature becomes very high. Why does it do this?

Answer: A. To prevent its body from becoming too hot and losing too much water.

Deserts have extremely high temperatures during the day. By hiding inside cool burrows, the lizard protects itself from overheating and reduces water loss from its body. This helps it survive in the hot, dry desert.
