Solution

The correct option is B Cartilaginous fishes
Cod liver oil, as the name suggests, is the essential oil extracted from the livers of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), cartilaginous fish. The oil is commonly taken as a dietary supplement. It is one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and contains relatively high amounts of vitamin A and D. Hence, option B is correct.
