Solution

The correct option is C Lateral line organs
The lateral line organ system is a system of sense organs found in aquatic vertebrates, mainly fish, used to detect movement and vibration in the surrounding water. They are the modified epithelial cells, known as hair cells, which respond to the displacement caused by motion and transduce these signals into electrical impulses via excitatory synapses.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
