The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Identify the Specimen** The specimen described is an aquatic, cold-blooded animal with skin covered in scales, a two-chambered heart, fins, and a muscular tail. Based on these characteristics, we can identify the specimen as **fish**. **Step 2: Name the Groups (Class) to Which It Belongs** Fishes are classified into three main groups (or classes): 1. **Agnatha**: Jawless fish (e.g., lampreys and hagfish). 2. **Chondrichthyes**: Cartilaginous fish (e.g., sharks and rays). 3. **Osteichthyes**: Bony fish (e.g., salmon, goldfish). **Step 3: Give One Adaptation with Respect to Its Habitat** One significant adaptation of fish to their aquatic habitat is their **spindle-shaped body**, which helps reduce water resistance while swimming. Additionally, many fish possess **air bladders**, which help them maintain buoyancy and prevent sinking in water.
