Solution

The correct option is C Wallago attu
Wallago attu is a species of catfish in the family Siluridae. It is found in large rivers and lakes of the Indian subcontinent and in parts of Southeast Asia. They have very small eyes and well developed sensory barbels which helps in good vision.
On the other hand, Cirrhina malaria is mrigal while Catla catla is carp and Labeo rohita is rohu.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
