To determine which organisms are stenothermal or eurythermal, we first need to understand what these terms mean.

Definitions

Stenothermal organisms are those that can only tolerate a narrow range of temperatures. In contrast, eurythermal organisms can survive in a wide range of temperatures.

Analysis of Options

  • A) Frog, Lizard - Frogs are generally stenothermal, while lizards can be more eurythermal.
  • B) Frog, Man - Frogs are stenothermal, and humans (man) are eurythermal.
  • C) Man, Lizard - Humans are eurythermal, and lizards can adapt to various temperatures.
  • D) Polar bear, Coconut tree - Polar bears are stenothermal, while coconut trees are eurythermal.

Correct Answer

The best answer is B) Frog, Man. Frogs are stenothermal, while humans can adapt to a wider range of temperatures, making them eurythermal.
