A)Enhanced anaerobic glycolytic enzyme production occur

C)Progressive metabolic acidosis develops downstream✓
D)Augmented oxidative phosphorylation capacity rebounds
💡 Explanation
Progressive metabolic acidosis develops because anaerobic respiration increases; therefore the whale's muscles fatigue due to lactic acid build-up, rather than benefiting other metabolic pathways that rely on oxygen replenishment.
