The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which organism respires through gills. Gills are specialized organs used for breathing in aquatic organisms. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Crocodile**: Crocodiles are reptiles that primarily respire through lungs. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2: Vaheel**: The Vaheel is an aquatic mammal. Mammals, including aquatic ones, breathe using lungs. Thus, this option is also incorrect. - **Option 3: Frog**: Frogs are amphibians. While adult frogs primarily breathe through lungs and their skin, the larval stage (tadpole) does have gills.

This option is correct. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis of the options, the organism that respires through gills is the **Prawn**. **Final Answer**: Prawn (Option 4) ---
