Leroy Cooke · Answer 2

Option C, It will not be able to steer left and right through the water

Explanation:

The top fins of a fish are known as dorsal fins which are responsible for stabilizing fish during their movement in water. Thus, dorsal fins are used as a primary mode of locomotion. Dorsal fins direct the fish through the turn and stops. Thus, a fish whose dorsal fin is lost will not be able to steer through the water.

Option C is incorrect.
