Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Correct matching:

  • Catla — Surface feeder: Catla feeds on plankton and small organisms near the water surface.

  • Rohu — Middle zone feeder: Rohu feeds mainly in the mid‑water column on insects and plant matter suspended there.

  • Mrigal and common carp — Bottom feeders: These species feed on detritus, benthic organisms and food from the pond substrate.

  • Grass carp — Feed on aquatic weeds: Grass carp are herbivorous and primarily graze on pond vegetation (weeds).

Therefore the correct overall matching is: Catla — surface feeders; Rohu — middle zone feeders; Mrigal and common carp — bottom feeders; Grass carp — feed on aquatic weeds.
