Solution

The correct option is C Cypriniformes
The Weberian apparatus is a structure that connects the swim or the air bladder to the auditory system or ear in the carp fishes belonging to the order cypriniformes. Their hearing is well-developed since the cyprinids have this Weberian apparatus, three specialized vertebral processes that transfer motion of the gas bladder to the inner ear.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
