The correct answer is A) Department of Fisheries.
The Department of Fisheries is a government department responsible for the management of fisheries in Karnataka. It is responsible for the regulation of marine fishing activities, as well as the promotion of aquaculture and the development of the fisheries sector.
The Karnataka Fisheries Development Corporation is a government corporation responsible for the development of the fisheries sector in Karnataka. It is responsible for the promotion of aquaculture, the development of fisheries infrastructure, and the marketing of fisheries products.
The Coastal Regulation Zone Authority is a statutory body responsible for the regulation of development activities in the coastal zone. It is responsible for the protection of the coastal environment and the sustainable use of coastal resources.
The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute is a research institute under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India. It is responsible for research on marine fisheries and aquaculture.
The Department of Fisheries is the most appropriate organization to regulate marine fishing activities in Karnataka because it has the mandate and expertise to do so. The Karnataka Fisheries Development Corporation is not responsible for the regulation of fisheries activities, and the Coastal Regulation Zone Authority is responsible for the regulation of development activities in the coastal zone, not fisheries activities. The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute is a research institute, not a regulatory body.
