Solution
The correct option is ATorpediniformes. Torpedo or the 'electric rays' are a group of rays, flattened cartilaginous fishes with enlarged pectoral fins, comprising the order Torpediniformes. A pair of kidney-shaped electric organs is found at the base of the pectoral fins. They are known for being capable of producing an electric discharge, ranging from 8 - 220 volts.
