Answer:
2. Hip bones
Explanation:
More than 40 million years ago, whales had ancestors who walked on land. Even now, they have a feature they inherited from them - hip bones. Scientists used to think that they are vestigial, i.e. that they lost their function. However, recently they discovered that these bones help whales (and other marine mammals who have them, such as dolphins) maneuver better mating.
Whales developed the rest of the listed features later, when they became marine animals. This is why they are incorrect.
The only bone of the body that does not articulate directly with any other bone is the Hyoid Bone.

The mass extinctions that occurred 250 million years ago and 65 million years ago may have been due to gradual process or Catastrophic events.
Answer:
The right answer is D. The benthic zone
Explanation:
The limnetic and the littoral zone all get a lot of sunlight so there are a lot of plant life. The pelagic zone hosts a variety of plant species so this cannot be the correct answer. That leaves us with the benthic zone.
Benthic meaning inhabiting bottom areas or substrates. Plant life at the bottom is very scarce but there are a lot of insect species.
