Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
From the sea, the lampreys return to rivers only once for spawning (the method of copulation in fish).
On return to the rivers they stop feeding and start building nests of small stones in river beds.
Eggs are squeezed out through the cloaca into the nest and sperms are deposited on them, fertilization in external.
They lose their reproductive capacity after spawning.
And the presents die simultaneously.
