Tardigrades survive extreme desiccation and resume activity by entering which reversible dormant state?

Options:

Cryptobiosis (anhydrobiosis)
Diapause
Estivation
Hibernation

Correct answer: Cryptobiosis (anhydrobiosis)

Explanation: Tardigrades enter cryptobiosis (specifically anhydrobiosis) to survive drying and low metabolic activity; laboratory studies have revived specimens after about 30 years in a desiccated state.
