A)Sarcopterygii.
B)Elasmobranchii.
C)Holocephali.
D)Dipnoi.
E)Agnatha.

Accepted Answer

Lobe finned fishes, such as coelacanths, are part of the class Sarcopterygii. This class includes fish with fleshy paired fins, which are thought to have given rise to the limbs of tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates) during evolution. Elasmobranchii and Holocephali are cartilaginous fish (sharks, rays, and chimaeras), while Dipnoi are lungfish, and Agnatha are jawless fish (lampreys and hagfish) - none of which are lobe finned.
