B Correct answer
Explanation

Dolphins do sleep, but they practice unihemispheric slow-wave sleep - they sleep with one brain hemisphere at a time while the other remains awake to handle breathing and predator awareness. This adaptation allows them to maintain movement and surface for air while still getting rest. The statement that they don't require sleep is false.
