Observe the cartilaginous fishes illustrated in Figure 4.19. Which combination of anatomical features correctly explains why these organisms must swim constantly without resting?

  1. A
    Absence of an operculum forces continuous movement for water filtration
  2. B
    Presence of placoid scales generates high frictional resistance in water
  3. C
    Absence of an air bladder forces continuous swimming to prevent sinking
  4. D
    Presence of a persistent notochord prevents flexible body undulating motion

Correct answer · Option C

Absence of an air bladder forces continuous swimming to prevent sinking

Explanation

Chondrichthyes (e.g., Scoliodon and Pristis shown in Fig 4.19) lack an air bladder (swim bladder); due to the absence of buoyancy regulation, they must swim constantly to avoid sinking.
