Solution

The correct option is D it lives on both land and water
Amphibians are animals that live both in water and on land. They require water to lay their eggs, as the eggs are not in shells. The fertilization takes place externally and the tadpoles develop in the water till they metamorphosize into the adults. The tadpoles generally live in water. But frogs live on land and need water or moisture during the tadpole stage and during the adult stage for laying their eggs.
