  • A
    The statement is true for water but false for land
  • B
    The statement is true for both the environment
  • Correct answer
    C
    The statement is false for water but true for land
  • D
    The statement is false for both the environment

Solution

- In water, frogs respire through skin and not through buccal cavity i.e., undergo cutaneous respiration only. - On land, the buccal cavity, skin and lungs act as respiratory organs i.e., undergo buccopharyngeal, cutaneous and pulmonary respiration.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
