Answer 1

Answer:

B. Thicker layer of blubber

Explanation:

For the leopard seals to survives this harsh environment, it must have a thicker layer of blubber

Blubber is a thick layer of fat. It is called the adipose tissues and found in most marine organisms.

• This layer helps in insulating the body against heat loss.
• By so doing, the animal is able to conserve internal heat.
• They have low thermal conductivity and do not easily lose heat or gain heat as such.
