Like all species of baleen whales, the common minke 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 common minke whale small—it can have a mass as high as 4,000 kg—it is one of the smaller baleen whales and is much smaller than the fin whale, which can weigh a whopping 80,000 kg and consume as much as 24,000 kg of krill per day.
Based on the text, what can most reasonably be concluded about krill consumption among common minke and fin whales?
Both the common minke whale and the fin whale can eat as much as 24,000 kg of krill per day.
A
The quantities of krill consumed by fin whales has made it difficult for common minke whales to find sufficient food.
B
The fin whale is able to eat more krill per day than the common minke whale is.
C
Most baleen whales include krill in their diets, but the common minke whale is less likely than the fin whale to do so.
D
