A Camels exert a very small force on the ground
B Camels have a small mass relative to their size
C Broad feet increase the surface area, reducing the pressure
D Broad feet decrease the surface area, increasing the pressure

Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. Broad feet increase the surface area, reducing the pressure

Correct Answer: (c) Broad feet increase the surface area, reducing the pressure.
Explanation: Pressure = Thrust / Area. Camels have wide, broad feet, so the area in contact with the sand increases. This spreads out their weight, lowering the pressure on the sand and keeping them from sinking.
