The correct options are
A Metamorphosis during development

1. Amphibians have scale-less skin whereas reptiles have scales, shields or plates on their skin.
2. Amphibians in the larval stages respire by gills whereas reptiles respire only by lungs.
3. Amphibians require water for reproduction whereas reptiles reproduce by hard-shelled eggs laid on land.
