A Correct answer
Explanation

Lungfish can survive in suspended animation (estivation) out of water for up to three years by burrowing into mud and secreting a mucus cocoon. This adaptation allows them to survive drought conditions. Stonefish are venomous but cannot survive out of water, and starfish are marine animals.
