Solution

The correct option is A Lungs
In order to adapt to the terrestrial habitat, reptiles had to develop a skin relatively impermeable to water, so as to prevent desiccation and hence, not well-suited for respiration. Thus, most reptiles depend almost entirely on the lungs for gaseous exchange.
So, the correct answer is option B.
