The correct answer is: I and IV
- Shark is a member of Chondrichthyes class, which is a cartilaginous fish.
- Water snake is a reptile and salamander is an amphibian having largest RBC in animal kingdom.
- Silver fish (Lepisma) is an arthropod, cuttle fish (Sepia) is a mollusc and star fish (Asterias) is an echinodermate. So none of them is a true fish (Pisces).
- Ornithorhychus is a mammal which is also known as duck-billed playtypus. It is a member of Monotremata order which is a connecting link between reptiles and mammals.
