Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
The correct answer is Option C
The body of the porcupine fish is covered in spines. The fish swells as a result of sucking in water, which makes the spines protrude. As a result, it changes from a little mouthful to an uneatable ball of sharp spines. A deadly poison is also present in its flesh as an additional defence.
