Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

In contrast to other fish, who have bladders filled with gas, sharks have a liver filled with low-density oil that is similar to vegetable oil. This oil is lighter than water and tends to rise to the top of the water if not contained but because it is in the sharks liver its contained therefor the shark floats!
