Solution

The correct option is A Respiration
Both the lungs and the skin serve as respiratory organs in amphibians. The skin of amphibians is highly vascularized and moist, with moisture maintained via secretion of mucus from specialized cells. The skin's unique properties aid rapid gas exchange when amphibians are submerged in oxygen-rich water.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
