Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Both B and C

A complex of arteries and veins lying very close to each other is called as Rete mirabile. It is found in some vertebrates like Bony fishes and aquatic mammals. In some fish, a rete mirabile fills the swim bladder with oxygen, increasing the fish's buoyancy.

So, the correct answer is 'Both B and C'.
