Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

The frog is a cold-blooded animal or poikilotherm. Their body temperature changes with the temperature of their surroundings.

This is because the oxidation of food in their tissues is slow and therefore, they are incapable of maintaining a constant body temperature
