Solution
The correct option is C B, C and E
Torpedo is a cartilaginous fish. It is also known as an electric ray. An electric organ is found in this fish which is a modified muscle. It can give shock averaging 100-400 volts.
Skin of amphibian is moist, smooth and scaleless. Numerous mucous glands are found in the skin, which keeps it moist. Birds are warm-blooded homeothermic animals, i.e. body temperature remains almost constant. Protochordate is exclusively marine. Heart is absent in Amphioxus . Hence, options B, C and E are false.
