Solution

The correct option is A Vocal sacs
  • Males croak louder, especially during the night.
  • Males croak to the sound of vacuums, running water, loud noises, to attract females and sometimes for no reason at all.
  • The croaking is heard more commonly during the breeding season.
  • Male frogs have two vocal cords over their throat, which act as resonators and hence, louder volume.

So, the correct answer is option A.
