3 tons
B

D
6 tons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This dinosaur’s muscular body stretched as long as 40 feet-about the size of a school bus-from its snout to the tip of its powerful tail. Weighing up to eight tons, T. rex stomped headfirst across its territory on two strong legs.

Detailed explanation-2: -We all know that the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex was big. But palaeontologists in Canada have just identified the biggest lizard tyrant king yet – its name is Scotty! The enormous dinosaur, which was 42 feet long and weighed 19, 400 pounds, roamed prehistoric Saskatchewan 66 million years ago.

Detailed explanation-3: -The I-rex has many differences from T-Rex, though. Indominus rex is bigger than the T-Rex and Giganotosaurus, has longer arms than a T-Rex, and possesses spines on its neck and back. The I-rex is also different in terms of color, too.

Detailed explanation-4: -rex could grow to lengths of around 13.2 meters (43.30 feet), up to 3.96 meters (13 feet) tall at the hips, and according to most modern estimates 8.4 metric tons (9.3 short tons) to 14 metric tons (15.4 short tons) in weight.

Detailed explanation-5: -Giganotosaurus vs T-Rex: Size The Giganotosaurus weighed about 17, 600 pounds, stood 20 feet high, and was about 45 feet long. The T-Rex maxed out the scale at 15, 000 pounds but was also 20 feet tall and 40 feet in length. The comparison is close, but the Giganotosaurus is the bigger beast and has an advantage.
