Solution

The correct option is D Claspers
The sharks and rays have claspers as copulatory organs. Claspers are paired tube-like structures. These are formed from the median edge of the pelvic fins. They serve to transport the sperm form the male to the female. The clasper is inserted in the female during copulation. They help to transfer the semen to the female.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
