Solution

The correct option is A Prawn
In arthropods, respiratory organs are gills, book gills, book lungs, or tracheal system. Prawn is an aquatic arthropod; it respires through gills. Their gills are complex outgrowths that hold blood vessels for the exchange of gases. A whale is an aquatic mammal, the frog is an amphibian and a crocodile is a reptile. All of these animals belong to the phylum Chordata and breathe through the lungs. Frogs respire through the skin and buccopharyngeal cavity also.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
