Question

Which one of the following show discontinuous distribution?

• A. Bats
• B. Green Mussels
• C. Lung Fishes
• D. Pacific Salmons

Answer 1

The correct option is C Lung Fishes

• When continuity of distribution of a species is broken by uninhabited areas which are sometimes very large stretches of oceans, it is called as a discontinuous distribution.
  
• The three surviving genera of lungfishes show discontinuous distribution, as they occur in three different continents Protopterus in Africa, Lepidosiren in South America and Neoceratodus in Australia.
  

So, the correct answer is 'Lung Fishes'
