The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks why the skin is considered an ideal respiratory organ in frogs. 2. **Identify the Characteristics of Frog Skin**: - Frogs are amphibians, meaning they can live both on land and in water. This dual habitat requires them to have specialized respiratory adaptations. - Frogs have lungs for respiration on land, but they primarily use their skin for respiration when in water. 3. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Option A: Highly Vascular**: - Frog skin is highly vascularized, meaning it has a rich supply of blood vessels. This allows for efficient gas exchange, as oxygen can easily diffuse into the bloodstream. - **Option B: Kept Moist**: - The skin of frogs is kept moist due to the secretion of mucus by glands. A moist surface enhances the diffusion of gases, making respiration more efficient. - **Option C: Devoid of Hair and Scales**: - Frog skin lacks hair and scales, which would otherwise obstruct gas exchange. The absence of these structures facilitates better diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide. - **Option D: All of the Above**: - Since all the previous statements (highly vascular, kept moist, and devoid of hair and scales) are correct, this option is also correct. 4. **Conclusion**: The skin is an ideal respiratory organ in frogs because it is highly vascular, kept moist, and devoid of hair and scales. Therefore, the correct answer is **D: All of the Above**. ---
