Solution
The correct option is C Mammals
- Whales are a widely distributed and diverse group of fully aquatic placental marine mammals. Whales are creatures of the open ocean; they feed, mate, give birth, suckle and raise their young at sea. So extreme is their adaptation to life underwater that they are unable to survive on land.
- Whales are warm-blooded animals, they breathe air, have hair, and females feed their babies with milk from mammary glands. Hence they belong to the group of vertebrates called mammals.
