The correct answer is: all of these choices are correct.

Suspension filter feeding is a process of obtaining food by filtering out the tiny organisms like plankton of krill that float in the water. This type of feeding strategy is only possible in water because there are no floating communities in the air.

This strategy is used by scallops, oysters, and baleen whales, three very different and evolutionary distant types of animals, which suggests that this is an example of convergent evolution.
