B. Thick layer of blubber.

Think of the animals you know to have thick layers of blubber.
Whales
Sea lions
Porpoises

None of these organisms live in freshwater.

Survival of the fittest (Those best suited to the environment they live in, mother nature doesn't care much for body building)

blubber is best utilised by organisms that live in aquatic environments where temperatures are relatively cold.
like the deep depths of the oceans.

Answer from: MichealM7668

The adaptions that does not help an animal moves through the water is a thick layer of blubber. This implies the correct answer is B

The thick of blubber is the adaption that does not help an animal moves through the water.

Further Explanation

The animal that appears to have thick of blubbers doesn’t live in freshwater. Organisms that live in an aquatic environment used a thick layer of blubber to regulate their body temperature.

Examples of marine animals with thick layers of blubber include

whaleswalrusessea lions

Blubber is also known as adipose tissue. In marine mammals, blubber is a thick layer that is made up of fat under their skin. The blubber enables marine mammals to keep their internal temperature like humans and also covers their entire skin

Some functions of blubber to marine mammals include:

It stores energy such as fats and proteins: The nutrient that is stored in blubber is used as energy in the absence of food. Also, the nursing mothers depend on their blubbers to feed their offspring’s)It helps them to keep warmIt helps marine mammals to stay float: Blubber also aids buoyancy in marine mammals. It also streamlined their body)Whales, among the marine mammals have the thickest blubber and they can be found in Arctic and Antarctic regions
