Question

why will the anglerfish most likely not become extinct?
a. they are like snails and can be both male and female.
b. their camouflage protects them from being eaten.
c. the males attach themselves to the female and physically fuse with her.
d. all of the above
please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

• Anglerfish have unique reproductive strategies. Some species are hermaphroditic (like option a), which means they can reproduce without relying on finding a mate of the opposite sex in some cases.
• Their camouflage (option b) helps them avoid predators, increasing their survival chances.
• The male - female attachment and fusion (option c) is a specialized reproductive behavior that ensures reproduction. Since all these factors (a, b, c) contribute to their survival and non - extinction, option d is correct.

Answer:

D. All of the above
