What does terrestrial refer to in animal habitats?

• A. Spend majority of life on land
• B. Spend majority of life in water
• C. Live in trees
• D. Fly in air

Answer: (A)

Terrestrial describes animals whose life is predominantly spent on land rather than in water, air, or trees. It means they’re adapted to moving, feeding, and reproducing on solid ground across habitats like grasslands, deserts, and forests. The option that fits this idea best is spending the majority of life on land. The other choices point to different environments: most time in water describes aquatic life; living in trees describes arboreal life; flying in the air describes volant animals.
