c. agnatha
what fin is used by fish to propel itself forward?

For the first question: Sharks belong to the class Chondrichthyes, which are cartilaginous fish with skeletons made of cartilage instead of bone. Osteichthyes are bony fish, and Agnatha are jawless fish, neither of which describe sharks.
For the second question: The caudal (tail) fin is the primary fin fish use to generate thrust and propel themselves forward. Pelvic and pectoral fins are mainly for balance, steering, and stopping.
