Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Rearing of animals having fins

The best I can explain: Fin fishery is the capture, management and exploitation of aquatic animals having paired or unpaired fins. They are broadly divided into cartilaginous and bony fishes. Cartilaginous fishes occur exclusively in the sea which also contains a number of bony fishes.
