The adaptation that does not help an animal move through the water is:
b. thick layer of blubber
While blubber can provide insulation and energy storage, it does not contribute to the efficiency of movement in water. The other options (streamlined body, flippers and flattened tails, and smooth, almost furless body) all aid in reducing drag and enhancing mobility in aquatic environments.
