I believe the answer is a. thick layer of blubberMammal is an warm-blooded animal that need to keep their body warm. Organ that could insulate the heat would be beneficial to keep the temperature, like layer of fat or thick fur. The example of marine mammals would be dolphin, whale, sea lion and polar bear. Thick fur will not give much benefit for mammals in water, so only polar bear have thick fur. But all of them has thick layer of blubber, so option A will be the most appropriate.

The right answer is a. thick layer of blubber Blubber is a layer of subcutaneous fat, dense and vascularized. It is one of the characteristics of marine mammals that can represent up to 50% of the mass of an individual of certain species at a phase of their life.Blubber is highly vascularized, with high collagen fiber content, and serves these animals as insulation and energy reserve but also plays a hydrodynamic and flotation role. Blubber was the main reason for whaling.The thickness of this fat layer is considered indicative of the good health of some whales.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. A thick layer of blubber is the adaptation that is typical of marine mammals. This adaptation allow the animals to be warm in water. It consists of a thick layer of fat. Hope this answers the question.
