Correct Answer

A. See

Fish use their eyes to see their surroundings and navigate through their environment.

This visual information is crucial for their survival, as it helps them locate food, avoid predators, and find suitable habitats. Additionally, fish rely on their eyes to communicate with other members of their species through visual signals and displays. Overall, vision plays a vital role in the daily activities and survival of fish.
