Solution

The correct option is A Tortoise
Tortoises are considered as reptiles and not amphibians because of the following characteristics:
  • They are vertebrates that is they have a backbone.
  • They are covered in scales.
  • They breathe through lungs.
  • They lay eggs.
  • And they are cold blooded which means they cannot regulate their body temperature.
And all these characteristics are shown by the organisms which fall under the category of reptiles and not amphibians.
