A claim is an unverified statement or theory which is made about something which may or may not be true.
<h3>Verification of a claim</h3>
For a claim to be validated, i.e, proven to be true (in science), then there needs to be tests and experiments which needs to be carried out to show that the claim is valid.
With this in mind, if for example if there's a claim that jewelweed helps to treat symptoms caused by poison ivy, then there needs to be a controlled experiment to see if this is true or not.
If after a series of experiments and it can be established without any iota of doubt, then the claim is valid and the scientific process will move to the next stage.
Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to give you a better understanding of the concept.

Answer:
The correct option is <u><em>A. they evolved from land mammals.</em></u>
Explanation:
The process of evolution explains how closely one organism is to another based on their common ancestors. Scientists believe that those organisms which show many similarities in their structures or functions might have evolved from a common ancestor in the past.
As in the above-mentioned question, scientists have observed that cetaceans lack gills and breath air, this is a property of land mammals. The cetaceans have fin bones which are similar to the limb bones. As limb bones are present in land mammals, hence they cetaceans and land mammals might have common ancestors in the past.
