Solution

The correct option is A swell
Density of sea water is more than that of river water. So, at same depth, sea water exerts greater pressure. And, the body of the sea fish is habituated with the high pressure from outside. Now, as the same fish enters the river, water density being low, will suffer less pressure from outside. As a result, the body of the fish will swell out slightly.
