Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Shell of cuttle fish or cuttle bone, is a familiar object of the sea shore.

It is rather soft and spongy.

Being light, it floats in water, and during monsoon, these bones are drifted ashore in such great numbers that they have been named as the sea-foam.

It is given as a bill sharpener as well as a source of calcium to caged birds.
