B Correct answer
Explanation

Catfish are exceptional in the animal kingdom - they have more taste buds than any other vertebrate, not just one. A catfish can have over 100,000 taste buds distributed all over its body, particularly on its barbels (whiskers) and fins. This allows them to locate food even in murky, dark water where vision is useless. The claim of just one taste bud is completely false.
