Solution

The correct option is B Rana tigrina
The common Indian bullfrog is Rana tigrina. It is characterized by a stout body, protruding eyes, cleft tongue, limbs folded underneath and the absence of a tail in adults. The species are adapted for living underground or in trees. Frogs typically lay their eggs in water. The eggs hatch into aquatic larvae called tadpoles that have tails and internal gills. They have highly specialised rasping mouth parts suitable for herbivorous, omnivorous or planktivorous diets. So, the correct answer is option A.
