Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Fish exchange gases by pulling oxygen-rich water through their mouths and pumping it over their gills.
In some fish, capillary blood flows in the opposite direction to the water, causing counter-current exchange. The gills push the oxygen-poor water out through openings in the sides(opercula) of the pharynx.
