D. A deer has flat teeth for chewing plants.

Explanation:

Adaptation, which is the ability of an organism to survive changes in its natural environment, can either be structural, behavioral and physiological. Structural adaptation is the possession of a physical or structural feature by an organism to enable it survive or adjust to change.

According to this question, the FLAT TEETH possessed by the deer for chewing plants is an example of structural adaptation because the deer posseses a structural feature (flat teeth) that allows it to feed on plants for survival.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
