Solution

The correct option is D teeth
Sharks and rays are examples of fishes included in the class Chondrichthyes. They have teeth which are modified placoid scales. They do not have an air bladder. Due to the absence of an air bladder, they have to constantly swim in order to prevent sinking. Operculum, covering of gills is absent in Chondrichthyes. Members of Chondrichthyes have a cartilaginous endoskeleton.
