Solution

The correct option is C Amphibian
Salamanders are the extinct species of amphibians belonging to the order Caudata. The present-day species are often called by the common term Urodela. They are typically characterized by a superficially lizard-like appearance, with slender bodies, blunt snouts, short limbs projecting at right angles to the body, and the presence of a tail in both larvae and adults. Salamander diversity is most abundant in the Northern Hemisphere and most species are found in the Holarctic ecozone, with some species present in the Neotropical zone.
