Solution

The correct option is C aquatic
Aquatic animals like fishes have a spindle-shaped or streamlined body and scales on their skin as adaptive features to survive in the aquatic habitat. In addition to these adaptations, fishes have air bladders within their body which help them to stay afloat and gills to absorb oxygen dissolved in water.
