Solution

The correct option is A Gymnophiona
A fossorial organism is the one that is adapted to digging and live underground.
The caecilians are an order Gymnophiona of the amphibians that superficially resemble earthworms or snakes. Caecilians are predominantly fossorial, subterranean animals (although some are aquatic or semi-aquatic and some terrestrial species have aquatic larva).
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
