  1. Most fish do not sink in water because of the presence of
    1. air sinuses
    2. buoyant scales on the body
    3. swim bladder
    4. swimmerets
Correct Option: C

Most fish are able to control their bouyancy with a swim bladder (an internal sac they can fill with gas or water) or by other means, so that they have a specific gravity exactly the same as the water they swim in. By small adjustments to their buoyancy, they can float to a higher level or sink lower with a very small expenditure of energy.
