- A.
Dolphin
- B.
Caribou
- C.
Tundra
- D.
Summer, my dog
Correct Answer
B. CaribouExplanation
Caribou is the correct answer because it is a grazing animal that is known to live in the Arctic.

They migrate long distances in search of food and are a vital resource for indigenous communities in the Arctic. Dolphins are marine animals and do not live in the Arctic, while tundra is a type of biome found in the Arctic but is not an animal. "Summer, my dog" is not relevant to the question and does not name an Arctic grazing animal.Rate this question:
