I would have picked "E", but there is *some* justification for "A", IMHO.

The answer is obviously salmon, so obvious, that I'm starting
to worry about you.....

How obvious?
Salmon possess a liver, most animals do.
Liver is the only organ while Salmon, beef, pork and ham are much more alike. There is definite problem with IQ test becase those who write them cannot think properly and too many questions are debatable sadly, maaking an answer untrue while it could be true.

: Liver a meat? I've touched liver: I've cooked liver; I've eaten
: liver; Liver is no meat.

It ain't chopped liver, errrrrr, ahhhhhhhh, ummmmm.....
