The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the two statements about amphibians and determine their correctness. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Amphibians**: - Amphibians are a class of animals that can live both in water and on land. They include frogs, toads, salamanders, and caecilians. 2. **Analyzing Statement (a)**: - The statement claims that "All amphibians have two pairs of limbs." - While most amphibians do have four limbs (two pairs), there are exceptions. For instance, caecilians are a type of amphibian that are limbless. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyzing Statement (b)**: - The statement claims that "All amphibians lack tails." - This is also incorrect because many amphibians, such as salamanders, do possess tails. Thus, this statement is also **incorrect**. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both statements (a) and (b) are false, the correct option is that both A and B are false. ### Final Answer: Both statements (a) and (b) are false. ---
