Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The free-flowing nets used in oceans to catch fish by their gills are known as drift nets. A net can have a dimension of up to 15 meters deep and 89 kilometers in length. These nets are not selective in nature, as various fishes comprising marine mammals can get trapped in them.
