please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

Sea otters have a streamlined body (a) for efficient swimming, webbed hands and feet (b) to aid in locomotion in water, and a body covered in thick fur (c) for insulation. However, they do not have a breathing apparatus on the top of the head. Marine mammals like whales have blow - holes (a type of breathing apparatus) on the top of their heads, but sea otters have nostrils on their noses (not on the top of the head).

Answer:

D. breathing apparatus on the top of the head
