The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks through which structure does air enter the lungs. We need to identify the correct anatomical pathway for respiration in frogs. 2. **Identifying Types of Respiration**: In frogs, respiration occurs through three main types: - Cutaneous respiration (through the skin) - Buccopharyngeal respiration (through the buccal cavity) - Pulmonary respiration (through the lungs) 3. **Focusing on Pulmonary Respiration**: The question specifically pertains to pulmonary respiration, which involves the lungs. 4. **Pathway of Air Entry**: - Air enters the nostrils first. - From the nostrils, it moves into the buccal cavity. - Finally, the air travels from the buccal cavity into the lungs. 5. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Skin**: Incorrect, as it is involved in cutaneous respiration. - **Buccal Cavity**: This is the correct answer as it is part of the pathway for air entering the lungs. - **Mouth**: Incorrect, as it is not the specific term used in the context of frog respiration. - **Cloaca**: Incorrect, as it is related to excretion and not respiration. 6. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is the **buccal cavity** (Option B), as it is the structure through which air enters the lungs after passing through the nostrils. ---
