    Explanation
    The lateral line is a sensory system found in fish that helps them detect movement and vibrations in the water. It consists of a series of small sensory organs along the sides of the fish's body. When fish swim in a group, such as herring, the lateral line allows them to sense the movements of their fellow fish and avoid colliding with them. This helps maintain the cohesion and coordination of the group.

    Correct Answer
    A. Carnivores
    Explanation
    Cartilaginous fish are a group of fish that have skeletons made of cartilage instead of bone. Examples of cartilaginous fish include sharks, rays, and skates. These fish are known to be carnivores, meaning they primarily feed on other animals. Their diet consists mainly of smaller fish, crustaceans, and other marine organisms. They have sharp, pointed teeth and powerful jaws that allow them to catch and consume their prey effectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that cartilaginous fish are carnivores.
