Which risk increases when cartilaginous fish cease swimming?

A)Elevated buoyant force overwhelms muscle tone
B)The operculum ceases rhythmic motion
C)Oxygen extraction rates undergo decline
D)Kidney filtration rate spikes excessively

💡 Explanation

Oxygen extraction declines because ram ventilation, dependent on continuous water flow is no longer forced over gills; therefore, without steady swimming, gills cease to get enough oxygen, rather than the other, osmoregulation possibilities or unusual pressure differentials arising.
