Solution

The correct option is D Both A and B
  • Dorsal fins are single and located at the back of the body of fish.
  • Ventral fins are also called pelvic fins and are paired. These are generally located behind the pectoral fins.
  • Caudal fins are the tail fins and maybe homocercal or heterocercal.
In some fishes, dorsal and ventral fins are continuous with caudal fin. For example, lungfishes and eels.
Hence, both options A and B are correct. So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
