Answer:

Thermoregulation

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Decreased surface-to-volume ratio. The dolphin's fusiform body shape and reduced limb size decrease the amount of surface area exposed to the external environment.
  2. Increased insulation. Dolphins deposit most of their body fat into a thick layer of blubber.
  3. Heat exchange system.
