Like all species of baleen whales, the sei whale feeds on tiny creatures known as krill by filtering water through bristlelike keratin structures called baleen plates. In this way, baleen whales can eat up to 30 percent of their total mass per day. And while no one would call the sei whale small—it can have a mass as high as 25,000 kg—it is one of the smaller baleen whales and is much smaller than the bowhead whale, which can weigh a whopping 66,000 kg and consume as much as 19,800 kg of krill per day.
Based on the text, what can most reasonably be concluded about krill consumption among sei and bowhead whales?
The quantities of krill consumed by bowhead whales has made it difficult for sei whales to find sufficient food.
A
Both the sei whale and the bowhead whale can eat as much as 19,800 kg of krill per day.
B
Most baleen whales include krill in their diets, but the sei whale is less likely than the bowhead whale to do so.
C
The bowhead whale is able to eat more krill per day than the sei whale is.
D
