Solution

The correct option is A Exocoetus
Exocoetus is called the 'flying fish' and is in the family of marine fishes. They have wing-like fins that enable gliding flight for considerable distances above the water's surface. This uncommon ability is a natural defence mechanism to evade predators.
So, the correct answer is option A.
