Solution

The correct option is A Reptiles
Reptiles were the first vertebrates that adequately adapted for terrestrial habitation and utilization of lungs as the sole pathways for acquisition of oxygen. The simplest reptilian lungs, e.g., those of Rhynchocephalia, correspond in their organizational complexity to the amphibian lung: a central air duct.
