Correct Answer: B — Expandable cheek pouches
Explanation:
Chipmunks have stretchy cheek pouches that work like built-in grocery bags. They can fill them with nuts, seeds, or berries and carry everything back to their burrows. This lets them transport a lot of food quickly and stay safe from predators while collecting supplies. Their cheeks may look funny when full, but it’s a very smart survival trick!
