Q Which of the following was the signature attack of large sauropod dinosaurs with their long necks and tails?

- A Slamming their necks down
- B Stomping with their feet
- C Using their tails as a whip
C Using their tails as a whip
Among sauropods, Diplodocus in particular had an exceptionally long and slender tail, and research shows that it had well-developed muscles to move it.
To protect itself from carnivorous dinosaurs, it is believed to have swung its tail forcefully like a whip to create a loud cracking sound for intimidation, or to physically strike and drive away enemies.
