Solution

Male frogs can be distinguished from female frogs by the presence of sound-producing vocal sacs and a copulatory pad on the first digit of the forelimbs. These structures are absent in female frogs.

Bulging eyes, webbed digits in feet, and olive green-coloured skin with dark irregular spots are morphological features common to both male and female frogs.

Therefore, only statements B and D represent the distinguishing features of male frogs.

Answer: B and D only

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