    D.

    A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

    Correct option is A

    Explanation:

    • Spiders (B) produce silk using spinnerets (IV) located on their abdomen.

    • Fishes (C) possess a lateral line (I) system to detect water movements and vibrations.

    Information Booster:

    • Heat sensing pits in snakes are specialized sensory organs enabling detection of warm-blooded prey.

    • Spinnerets in spiders are silk-spinning organs crucial for web construction and prey capture.

    • The lateral line system in fishes consists of mechanoreceptors sensitive to water flow and pressure changes.

    • Echolocation in dolphins involves producing sound waves and interpreting their echoes for spatial orientation.
