In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage.

The Sahara's environment requires that the wildlife adapt to hyper-arid conditions, fierce winds, intense heat and wide temperature swings. In the Sahara, most mammals are relatively small, which helps to minimize water loss. They often meet their water needs from their diets. They take refuge in burrows during the day, hunting and foraging primarily at night, when temperatures are lower. They have developed anatomical adaptations like the fennec fox's large ears, which help dissipate heat, and its hairy soles, which protect its feet. Altogether, the Sahara hosts some 70 species of mammals, 90 species of resident birds, 100 species of reptiles, and numerous species of arthropods. The wildlife is concentrated primarily along the less severe northern and southern margins and near desert water sources.

Statement:

The small size of the mammals in the Sahara is helpful in minimizing water loss.

Choose the appropriate one from the following options

A - The statement is definitely true.

B - The statement is probably true.

C - The statement cannot be determined.

D - The statement is definitely false.
