Solution

The correct option is C Cobra
Shedding of the skin periodically is a characteristic feature of reptiles like cobra. Snakes shed their skin periodically and the process is known as ecdysis. During this process, the entire skin including the layer covering the eye is shed. It is not seen in salamanders (amphibian), fishes and humans.
