Solution

The correct option is C Gills
Fishes take water into their mouth passing it to the gills just behind its head on each side. Dissolved oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide released in the water, which is then dispelled. The gills are fairly large with thousands of small blood vessels which maximizes the amount of oxygen extracted.
