C Correct answer
Explanation

Amphibians - ‘Amphi' means 'both' and 'bios' means life. Animals that spend some time on land must breed (mate and produce young ones) and develop into an adult under water. Amphibians possess both lungs and gills for respiration. For example, frogs, toads and salamanders. Therefore, they can live both on land and in water.
