The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Recall the meaning of catadromous fish.
Catadromous fishes spend most of their life in freshwater and migrate to the sea for breeding.
Step 2: Identify the correct example. \[ \boxed{\textit{Anguilla} \;(\text{Eel})} \] is a catadromous fish. Salmon and Hilsa are anadromous fishes (migrate from sea to freshwater for breeding), while Catla is a freshwater fish.
Step 3: Choose the correct option. Hence, \[ \boxed{(D)} \] is the correct answer.
Step 2: Identify the correct example. \[ \boxed{\textit{Anguilla} \;(\text{Eel})} \] is a catadromous fish. Salmon and Hilsa are anadromous fishes (migrate from sea to freshwater for breeding), while Catla is a freshwater fish.
