Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Fish fly belongs to Megaloptera order.
Megaloptera is an order of insects. It contains the alderflies, dobsonflies and fishflies, and there are about 300 known species.
Flying fish live in all the oceans, particularly in tropical and warm subtropical waters. Fully broadened neural arches act as more stable and sturdier sites for these connections, creating a strong link between the vertebral column and cranium.
