hi,
if we see the choices, we can narrow down upon B and C.
out of these two, C seems a bit wordy and the same thing is conveyed by B.
so B should be the answer.

Because fish look throguh water, their eyes are very different from a mammal.

a. From a mammal
b. from a mammal's
c. from that of a mammal
d. than that of a mammal
e. than is a mammal's

Some thoughts:
1. Their eyes are different from mammal eyes.
=> "Their eyes" is parallel to "mammal eyes".
Mammal's =mammal eyes.

2. "Their eyes" is plural. There are two eyes. So, "that of a mammal" should be "those of a mammal".


Answer is clearly B.
