Solution

The correct option is D Sphyrna
A clasper is a structure found in some groups of male animals. Claspers are formed from the posterior portion of the pelvic fin. It serves as an intromittent organ and transfers semen into the female's cloaca during mating. Sphyrna is a hammerhead shark (a cartilaginous fish) and possesses claspers.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
