Correct answer: B. Cartilaginous fish.

  • A. Bony fish
  • B. Cartilaginous fish.
  • C. Fish like mammals.
  • D. All fishes.Primary & Secondary Schooling (K-12)

S-band or lateral undulatory locomotion is characteristically associated with cartilaginous fish, whose flexible bodies and fins produce side-to-side waves during swimming.
