I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Many people think the dinosaurs were the biggest animals that ever lived. They are wrong. The world's biggest animal is still living and it lives in the ocean . It is the blue whale . Blue whales can be as long as 30 meters and weigh as much as 1,000 kilos.

Question: There are not many kinds of whales left because _ Options: A: they don't lay eggs B: people have killed them C: they live in the ocean D: there are laws against them
