Answer: A. A mouse has long whiskers that are used to detect temperature changes.

Structural adaptations refer to the body parts of certain animals that are used to survive the threats in the environment. Therefore, the mouse's structural adaptation is its whiskers because it detects the change in temperature thus, warned the population for a possible flood or drought.
