Which of the following adaptations does not an animal move through the water? a. streamlined body b. thick layer of blubberc. flippers and flatened tails d. smooth, almost gutless body

A streamlined body is a body that is shaped to specifically reduce friction drag when moving.

Flippers and flattened tails are used to propel an animal through the water.

A smooth, almost gutless body is light, which is important when animals have to go through water quickly.

A thick layer of blubber is only used for insulation, and would hamper an animal's progress through water due to its weight.

The answer is B. thick layer of blubber.
