Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Final answer: 3,2,4,1,5 — Mosquito, Cat, Tiger, Elephant, Whale.
Reasoning: We order the animals by increasing body size (from smallest to largest).
Mosquito — smallest (tiny insect).
Cat — small land mammal, larger than a mosquito but much smaller than big predators and large mammals.
Tiger — large carnivorous cat, bigger than a domestic cat.
Elephant — very large land mammal, larger than a tiger.
Whale — largest of the group (largest overall body size).
Therefore the meaningful order by increasing body size is 3,2,4,1,5 (Mosquito, Cat, Tiger, Elephant, Whale).
