The correct option is D Both A and B
Climbing perch (Anabas) is a common freshwater fish that can also live out of water for sometime. It has long dorsal and anal fins which are supported by stiff rays. These fins bear spines. Their operculum (gill cover) also has backwardly directed spines. Due to these features, it is able to creep over land. Hence, both options A and B are correct.
So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
