In bony fishes, Immunoglobulin IgM is secreted as a

antibody structure analysis shows immunoglobulin fold with antiparallel beta-sandwich provides antigen binding. Consequently Tetramer emerges as the valid choice since it demonstrates immune recognition architecture, aligning with established principles in immunology literature.

Ref: Janeway et al., Immunobiology, 9th Edition, Chapter 3, Antigen Recognition, discusses immunoglobulin fold, beta-sandwich of antiparallel beta sheets, antibody structure and humoral immunity explaining specificity.

The immunoglobulin isotype found both in cartilaginous and bony fishes is

In immunology, antibody structure dictates that immunoglobulin fold with antiparallel beta-sandwich provides antigen binding. Therefore IgM is correct as it demonstrates immune recognition architecture, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.

Ref: Owen, Punt and Stranford, Kuby Immunology, 8th Edition, Chapter 4, Antibody Structure, covers immunoglobulin domains, beta-sheet organization and antigen binding detailing immune recognition.
