Solution

The correct option is C puffer
A puffer fish has the remarkable ability to expand its body extremely quickly. So, when faced with danger it displays its long poisonous spikes which covers and protects its body. For example, if a fisherman catches a puffer fish, he would never touch the spikes as they are highly toxic.
