    A.

    Puffers

    B.

    Pomfrets

    C.

    Mackerel

    D.

    Sharks

    Correct option is A


    Fugu dishes are made from pufferfish (family Tetraodontidae) and require licensed chefs because tissues contain tetrodotoxin (potent neurotoxin).
    Toxin & Safety (pointers)
    Toxin: tetrodotoxin concentrated mainly in liver, ovaries, skin, and sometimes intestines.
    Regulation: strict licensing and training; licensed chefs remove toxic parts to make safe sashimi, soups, etc.
    Risk: improper preparation can cause fatal poisoning (respiratory paralysis).
    Culinary / Cultural Notes
    Considered a high-status delicacy; served in thin slices (fugu sashimi), hot pot (fugu-chiri), or fried.
    Cultural value in Japan; seasonal specialty.
    Notes on other options
    Pomfrets, mackerel, sharks are not used for fugu.
