Question

One of the original animals in North America was the camel. However, around 11,000 years ago the population of camels in North America decreased dramatically. Nowadays, camels are usually found in the dry areas of Africa, Asia, and Australia. They are large cud-chewing mammals with humps on the back. In ancient times, camels roamed all continents, with the exception of Australia and Antarctica.

More than 3,000 years ago, people in Asia who lived in the desert tamed camels. They used camels as their transportation, took their wool and consumed their meat. Known as the "ship of the desert'', camels can survive without having to eat or drink longer than any other mammals. The humps behind their necks contain nutrition as food reserves.

"Often called the "ship of the desert'' (Paragraph 2)
The phrase "ship of the desert'' means ....
A. desert-dwelling people in Asia 
B. camels as a means of transportation animals
C. camels are unrivaled among mammals
D. a source of milk, meat, wool, and hides
E. camels have incredible endurance as pack
