North Atlantic right whales, Eubalaena glacialis, were called "right whales" because they were the best whale for early whalers to kill. They have long baleen and lots of blubber and oil. When killed, they could be towed back to land for processing because they float. They once numbered in the millions, but the entire population of the species is now less than 400. The history of the right whale is an example of
A) pollution.
B) overexploitation.
C) habitat destruction.
D) competition.
