Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

Both statements are biologically correct:

  • Statement 1: Dolphins and whales are mammals, not fish. They possess lungs instead of gills and must surface to breathe air. They do this through blowholes, which are nostrils located on the top of their heads. This adaptation allows them to breathe while most of their body remains submerged.
  • Statement 2: Earthworms do not have specialized respiratory organs like lungs. Instead, they perform gas exchange directly through their skin. Their skin is kept moist by mucus and coelomic fluid, which allows atmospheric oxygen to dissolve and diffuse into their thin-walled blood capillaries.
