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 blue whale, which can weigh a whopping 150,000 kg and consume as much as 45,000 kg of krill per day.
Based on the text, what can most reasonably be concluded about krill consumption among common minke and blue whales?
Most baleen whales include krill in their diets, but the common minke whale is less likely than the blue whale to do so.
A
The quantities of krill consumed by blue whales has made it difficult for common minke whales to find sufficient food.
B
The blue whale is able to eat more krill per day than the common minke whale is.
C
Both the common minke whale and the blue whale can eat as much as 45,000 kg of krill per day.
D
