Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect. A fish's heart is called a 'venous heart' because the heart receives blood from veins and sends it to the gills for oxygenation. The heart is two-chambered and performs single circulation where it receives and pumps only deoxygenated blood. There are veins as well as arteries in the fish. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
