Write the name of the classes to which Seahorse and King cobra belongs-
A. Seahorse- Actinopterygii, King cobra- Reptilia
B. Seahorse- Pisces, King cobra- Reptilia
C. Seahorse- Reptilia, King cobra- Reptilia
D. Seahorse- Amphibia, King cobra- Actinopterygii

Explanation

Solution

Hint:- The name Seahorse is given to the small animal species of the Hippocampus genus. King cobras are the world's longest venomous animal. Naja naja is a scientific name.

Complete step-by-step solution:-
Option A is correct. The term given to the small marine fish species in the Hippocampus genus is Seahorse. The word hippocampus means "sea beast." Seahorses also sport segmented bony armour, an upright posture, and a curled prehensile tail, reminiscent of a horse with a head and neck. In the family Elapidae, the King cobra is a venomous species of snake. It primarily preys on other snakes and sometimes on other vertebrates, such as lizards and rodents. When angered or provoked, it is a highly venomous and dangerous snake that has a fearsome reputation in its range, although it is usually shy and, when possible, avoids confrontation with humans.
Option B is incorrect. Fish are species with gill-bearing marine craniates that lack digit limbs. They create a sister group to the tunicates, forming the olfactores together. The living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and bony fish as well as various extinct associated groups are included in this description. Reptiles, including modern turtles, crocodilians, snakes, amphisbaenians, lizards, tuatara, and their extinct ancestors, are tetrapod species of the Reptilia class. The analysis of these conventional reptile orders, contrasted with that of modern amphibians in historical terms.
Option C is incorrect. The word hippocampus means "sea beast." Seahorses also feature segmented bony armour, an upright posture and a curled prehensile tail, with a head and neck reminiscent of a horse. The order Syngnathidae is established along with the pipefish and seadragons. In the family Elapidae, the King cobra is a venomous species of snake. It primarily preys on other snakes and sometimes on other vertebrates, such as lizards and rodents. When angered or provoked, it is a highly venomous and dangerous snake that has a fearsome reputation in its range, although it is usually shy and, when possible, avoids confrontation with humans.
Option D is incorrect. Ectothermic, tetrapod vertebrates in the Amphibia genus are Amphibians. All living amphibians are part of the Lissamphibia group. Frogs belong to an animal group called amphibians. Actinopterygii is a class or subclass of bony fishes whose members are classified as ray-finned fishes. The ray-finned fishes are so named because, as opposed to the fleshy, lobed fins that characterise the Sarcopterygii class, their fins are webs of skin supported by bony or horny spines.
So, the correct answer is Option A.

Note:- The Cape seashore (Hippocampus capensis), endemic to South Africa, is the most endangered seahorse. Forests from India to Southeast Asia are endemic to King cobra. It is endangered by habitat loss and has been listed on the IUCN Red List as Vulnerable since 2010.
