• B. Dolphin
• C. Shark
• D. Tiger

Hint:

The Gangetic Dolphin is also an indicator of a healthy river ecosystem and is found mainly in the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding national aquatic symbols.
The Gangetic River Dolphin (scientific name: Platanista gangetica) was declared the National Aquatic Animal of India in 2009. Step 2: Why not the others?
Whale and Shark are marine species, but not national symbols.
Tiger is the national animal, not aquatic.
