Solution
The correct option is C Torpedo
Torpedo has a pair of electric organs formed from the modified nerve or muscle tissues i.e., metamorphosed muscles that lie between the head and pectoral fins and run through the entire thickness of the body. They receive nerves from an electric lobe of the medulla. They give a powerful electric shock of about 100 volts for navigation, communication and defense.
