Options
- AA-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
- BA-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
- CA-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
- DA-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
Correct answer
D. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
Step-by-step solution
According to the external morphology of a frog: Copulatory pad is a secondary sexual character found only in male frogs, located on the first digit of the forelimbs. Webbed digits are present on the hindlimbs and help the frog in swimming. Tympanum is a membranous structure located on either side of the eyes that represents the ear and receives sound signals. Nictitating membrane covers the eyes to protect them while the frog is in water. Therefore, the correct match is A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I. Answer: A-II, B-III,
