Solution

The correct option is B Lungs
Whales cannot breathe underwater because they are mammals and not fish. This means that their breathing organs are lungs, rather than gills. So, like humans, whales need to come to the surface to take a deep breath of fresh air and when they are underwater they hold their breath.

So, The correct option is 'Lungs'.
