Solution
The correct option is C Amphibian
Amphibians spend their lives in water and on land. There are more than 4,000 different kinds of amphibians. Members of this animal class are frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians or blindworms.
Before amphibians reach adulthood, they first experience a larval stage, where they breathe primarily through their gills. When they get older, they start to breathe through their lungs, which allows them to live on land. Hence, it is necessary for amphibians to live in both land and water.
