Answer 1

Hint: The animals which can live both on water and land do not have scales in their body and also show the presence of special skin glands and they are cold-blooded animals.

Complete answer:
Animals are classified as aquatic or terrestrial, based on their habitat. Animals living in water are termed aquatic animals and those living on lands are known as terrestrial animals. But Amphibians can live both on the water as well as land and they show various adaptations that allow them to live in both conditions. Amphibians are cold-blooded animals

Option A: polar animals are those which live in extremely cold conditions and are surrounded by Ice. Therefore, this is the incorrect option.

Option B: Hydrolithozoans are a type of red algae and they are not animals. Therefore, this is the incorrect option.

Option C: The word Amphi means both because amphibians can live both in water as well as land. Amphibians occur mostly in the land but they move to water for breeding purposes, The larvae of amphibians grow in water and then return to the land surface. Therefore, this is the correct option.

Option D: Reptiles are crawling or creeping cold-blooded animals and they live on land, Therefore, this is the incorrect option.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C)

Note: The sexes are separate in the amphibians and external fertilization takes place in them, Amphibians are oviparous animals, some common examples of Amphibians include Frog, Toad, etc
