The answer is b. It is active only under warm conditions.

Scientific name of bumblebee is Bombus polaris. The bumble bee undergoes hibernation for about nine months during extreme cold. It suspends all its activities and remains as lifeless in the burrows of mouse. It waits for the ground to become warmer and it become active. Thus, active during warm conditions is not an adaptation in the Tundra bumblebee.
