Answer:

(B) Mussels

Step-by-step explanation:

Mussels are a filter feeding mollusk.

The mussel circulates its food through its system before eating it. Since the mussel lives in water and it food does as well, the mussel doesn't want to eat tons of water, so it needs to get rid of it as well as the other un-needed things.

Answer: option D - Whelks

Step-by-step explanation:

Whelks are molluscs with a radula on a stalk that can extend beyond the shell and be used to bore into the shells of other molluscs.

Through these holes that they have bored they poke the tip of the radula and suck out the flesh of the victim.
