Correct answer: D. Bony fishes
- A. Hagfish
- B. Jelly Fish
- C. Star Fish
- D. Bony fishes

Bony fishes are generally considered to have evolved from freshwater ancestors, although many lineages later adapted to marine environments.

About Excretion
Excretion removes metabolic wastes such as carbon dioxide, urea and excess salts, and differs from egestion, which removes undigested food. Questions cover kidney structure, nephron ultrafiltration, selective reabsorption and urine formation, along with the excretory roles of the lungs, skin and liver in maintaining homeostasis.
