Options
- AGills and lungs
- BBuccal cavity, skin, and lungs
- CSkin and gills
- DTrachea and lungs
Correct answer
B. Buccal cavity, skin, and lungs
Step-by-step solution

Dissolved oxygen in the water is exchanged through the skin by diffusion. On land, the buccal cavity, skin and lungs act as the respiratory organs. The respiration by lungs is called pulmonary respiration. The lungs are a pair of elongated, pink coloured sac-like structures present in the upper part of the trunk region (thorax). Air enters through the nostrils into the buccal ca
