C They have high metabolic rates requiring rapid transport.
Correct Answer
D Their cells do not require oxygen.
Correct Answer

Circulation is essential for large animals with high metabolic rates, as diffusion alone is too slow to meet their oxygen and nutrient demands over large distances.

Hint

Larger animals have higher metabolic demands that cannot be met by diffusion alone.
