Solution

The correct option is D Same as whale
All mammals have 7 cervical vertebrae in their neck (it is one of the typical mammalian characters). Though they become long in camel and giraffe, the number of cervical vertebrae remains the same. As whale is also a mammal, it possesses the same 7 cervical vertebrae.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
