6 The heterocercal shape of a shark's tail is beneficial because:
A it allows the shark to use countershading as camouflage so that it cannot be seen from above or below
B with each swish of the tail the shark amplifies its ability to detect both electrical and chemical changes in the water
C with each side-to-side movement of the tail, both forward and upward force is generated
D it allows the rostrum to protrude forward and increases the abilities of chemoreceptors found within this organ
