Answer: Amphibia.

  • A Reptilia
  • B Amphibia
  • C Pisces
  • D Mammalia

Correct answer: B. Amphibia

Explanation: Frogs (Rana) and toads (Bufo) belong to class Amphibia, which can live in both freshwater and on land.

Moving across the animal phyla, body organisation becomes progressively more complex: from no symmetry and cellular organisation (Porifera) through radial/diploblastic (Cnidaria), bilateral/acoelomate (Platyhelminthes), pseudocoelomate (Nematoda), to a true coelom with full organ systems (Annelida and beyond).

Concept context

Phylum-level classification of the animal kingdom from Porifera to Chordata, based on body symmetry, coelom, and segmentation. One of the most example-heavy chapters for NEET.
