Solution
The correct option is A Pufferfish
Pufferfish are also known as the blowfish, fugu, swellfish, and globefish.
They are called the pufferfish because when they are threatened, they puff up to about twice their normal size by gulping water.
The meat of pufferfish is eaten in Japan and is prepared by specially trained chefs who know which parts, and how much of them, are safe to eat.
