Question

ravi spots a shark circling below his boat. what type of fish is this?
(1 point)

• hypotonic fish
• cartilaginous fish
• bony fish
• butterflyfish

Explanation:

Sharks belong to the class Chondrichthyes, which are cartilaginous fish (having a skeleton made of cartilage, not bone). Hypotonic fish is not a standard fish classification category related to sharks. Bony fish have a bony skeleton (unlike sharks), and butterflyfish are a type of bony fish (not sharks). So the correct classification for sharks is cartilaginous fish.

Answer:

B. cartilaginous fish
