Suppose a fish loses its top fin during an encounter with another fish. How will this most likely affect the injured fish? It will not be able to take in as much oxygen. It will have difficulty sensing its environment. It will not be able to steer left and right through the water. It will have trouble staying upright in the water.

Answer:

Option C, It will not be able to steer left and right through the water

Step-by-step explanation:

The top fins of a fish are known as dorsal fins which are responsible for stabilizing fish during their movement in water. Thus, dorsal fins are used as a primary mode of locomotion. Dorsal fins direct the fish through the turn and stops. Thus, a fish whose dorsal fin is lost will not be able to steer through the water.

Option C is incorrect.
