Solution
The correct option is A Fish
Electroreceptors of elasmobranchs (sharks, rays, and skates) are called as ampullae of Lorenzini. These receptors are present in sacs that open to pores on the body surface. The canals connecting sac and pores are filled with jelly which is a very good conductor of electric charge and allow these fishes to detect the electrical fields generated by the muscle contractions of the prey. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
