(d) Pristis

Answer 1

Hint: Indian carp is an economically significant South Asian freshwater fish of the carp family. The Indian major carp is a common name for several species of fish.

Complete answer: The Indian carp is Labeo rohita, which is usually referred to as rohu, which may be a species of fish of the carp family. There are two main species of these fishes: one is Labeo Rohita and the other one is Labeo Calbasu. The species is an omnivore (an animal that has the ability to eat and survive on both plant and animal matter) with specific food preferences at different life stages. During the primary stages of its lifecycle, it eats mainly zooplankton, but because it grows, it eats more and more phytoplankton, and as a juvenile or adult could also be a herbivorous column feeder, eating mainly phytoplankton and submerged vegetation. It's an outsized omnivore and extensively utilized in aquaculture.
Rohu is a silver-colored fish of r cyprinid shape, with a conspicuously arched head. Adults can reach a maximum weight of 45 kg (99 lb.) and a maximum length of two m (6.6 ft.). But average around $\dfrac12$ m (1.6 ft.). It's modified, thin hair-like gill rakers, suggesting that it feeds by sieving the water. Rohu reaches sexual maturity between two and five years of age. They typically spawn during the monsoon season, keeping to the center of flooded rivers above tidal reach.
So, the correct answer is ‘Labeo’.

Note: Catla, is an Indian major carp. It's an economically important South Asian seafood of the carp family. Mrigal, an Indian major carp. It is a ray-finned fish of the carp family native to rivers in India.
