Detailed explanation-1: -Euryhaline organisms are able to tolerate a wide range of salt concentration (or salinaties). E.g. Poecillia sphenops is a fishasdu that can live fresh water, brackish water or salt water. Hence the correct option is C.
Detailed explanation-2: -: able to live in waters of a wide range of salinity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most euryhaline fishes have an upper salinity tolerance limit of approximately 2× seawater (60 g kg(-1)). However, some species tolerate up to 130 g kg(-1) salinity and they may be able to do so by switching their adaptive strategy when the salinity exceeds 60 g kg(-1).
Detailed explanation-4: -Salinity tolerance. Euryhaline organisms are those that can tolerate and thrive in a wide range of salinity. Examples of euryhaline organisms. Salmon and eels are examples of euryhaline species. Final answer: Euryhaline. 03-Jul-2022
