Solution
The correct option is B Lophius
Members of the genus Lophius are commonly called as monk-fish, fishing-frogs, frog-fish and sea-devils. The head is of enormous size, broad, flat and depressed, the body appearing merely like an appendage. The wide mouth and both jaws are armed with bands of long pointed teeth, which are inclined inwards and can be temporarily depressed so as to offer no impediment to an object gliding towards the stomach, while still preventing its escape from the mouth.So, the correct answer is option B.
