Solution

The correct option is A Lungs
Whales don't breathe underwater. They hold their breath underwater instead. Whales are mammals. They have lungs like us so they need to breathe air above the water like we do. They must come to the surface to breathe air. They breathe through a blowhole, or nostrils, on the top of their head.
