Not all ocean-dwelling creatures are fish. Animals that live in the sea include mammals, crustaceans, and even birds!

Mammals, such as whales and sea lions, have a thick layer of fatty tissue called blubber. The blubber insulates [them ] against the cold waters of the deep sea.

Part A: [it] Part B: them

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: [it]. "It" refers to one thing while the sentence is describing multiple things.

Part B: Them. We should use the pronoun "them" because "them" is plural and the sentence is talking about multiple things.
