   AAmphibianBReptileCMammalDInsect
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: A) Amphibian

   Correct Answer: Option 1 — Amphibian
   An "Amphibian" is an animal capable of living both on land and in water. Examples include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. The word comes from the Greek " amphi " (both) + "bios" (life), meaning "double life."
   Why the other options are wrong:
   Option 2 (Reptile): Cold-blooded vertebrates (e.g., snakes, lizards) that primarily live on land — not defined by living in water.
   Option 3 (Mammal): Warm-blooded animals that nurse their young — not specifically dual land/water dwellers.
   Option 4 (Insect): Six-legged arthropods — not defined by living on land and in water.
