Answer 1

The correct option is D Air reaching frog's lungs is too cool

Frog is an amphibian which breath through the skin at its initial stages but adult frog breathe through the lungs. Rabbit is a mammal which has well-developed lungs for breathing. They are nasal breathers as their epiglottis positioned rostrally to the soft palate. In mammals, nasal chambers have three bony projections called nasal conchae or turbinates which release heat to warm the air. Whereas frog lack turbinates.

So, the correct answer is option D.
