D. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is
E. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and it is

well, I am between A and E I don't knwo wether you need the pronoum "it" again to refer to the animal or not...althought "it" could refer also to family so it is a little ambiguos, I guess I will go with A

What is wrong with D. I need explanation
OA after explanation

D - says that 'as big as 30 foot long' ... We can't associate big with length..

I would for E, as 'it' clearly indicates the reference to the whale and not the 32 species.

OA for this one, please.
