Solution

The correct option is C Frog
Fishes use a specialized organ called gills to breathe. They use the oxygen dissolved in water. Some animals which live on land have skin which is so thin that gases can easily pass through it. For example, Earthworms and amphibians have a skin which is permeable to gases. Earthworms do not have lungs and breathe only through their skin. Most amphibians breathe through both skin and lungs. The frog is an amphibian. So, the answer is B.
