Solution

The correct option is C Trimethyl amines
Answer: Specific odor of dead fish is due to trimethyl amine
when fish are killed, bacteria and fish enzymes convert Trimethylamine N-oxide $(T M A O)$ into trimethylamine $(T M A)$ , which gives off the characteristic “fishy” odor.
Option B is correct
