Solution

The correct option is B
Catla catla

Composite fish farming is an advanced technology developed by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. In this, a combination of 5 to 6 species of local and imported fish is used in a single fish pond. These species do not compete for food among themself. As a result, the food available in all the parts of the pond is used. In this, the surface feeder fish used are Catla catla and silver carp. The column feederf fish used is rohu (Labeo rohita). The bottom feeders used are mrigal (Cinhina mrigala) and common carp,
Thus, the correct answer is 'Catla catla.'
