The right answer is Whales are able to conserve oxygen better than humans.

As the duration of the dive of some whale species can reach more than one hour, they use other means to breathe. In vertebrates, myoglobin, a protein, transports and stores oxygen in muscle tissue. It works like hemoglobin that carries oxygen in red blood cells. It is also myoglobin concentration very strong that makes their flesh bright red color, almost black. Thus, whales use the oxygen stored in the muscles to dive for long periods.

Answer:

Charles Darwin

Explanation:

Natural selection, most famously proposed by Charles Darwin, states that when presented with an environmental challenge, some individuals in a species will develop adaptations to face these challenges. Successful individuals will be more likely to mate and their offspring will inherit these adaptive traits, and will continue to pass for generations.

In this sense, plants face the challenge of the cold. Those that adapt to the cold will survive and reproduce, those that can't adapt to the cold will die. Eventually, only plants that can tolerate the cold will survive.
