A. Like any creature, it will die without water.
B. Unlike the devastating effects that water deprivation would have for almost any other species, nothing will happen to the spinifex hopping mouse, as it obtains sufficient water from its metabolic activities.
C. Unlike the devastating effects that water deprivation would have for almost any other species, nothing will happen to the spinifex hopping mouse, as it obtains sufficient water from its biochemical activities.
D. Unlike the devastating effects that water deprivation would have for almost any other species, nothing will happen to the spinifex hopping mouse, as it obtains sufficient water from recovered water.
E. Unlike the devastating effects that water deprivation would have for almost any other species, nothing will happen to the spinifex hopping mouse, as it obtains sufficient water from its salt glands.
