A
prepare for metamorphosis
B
engage in binary fission
C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Male frogs use mating calls, ranging from high-pitched cackles to deep croaks, to advertise themselves to nearby female frogs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many male frogs also have vocal sacs that resonate their calls. These sacs are stretchy pouches of skin lo-cated near the frog’s mouth or neck. The male inflates his vocal sacs by pushing air through slits in the floor of his mouth. As he calls, his inflated sacs resonate the sound.

Detailed explanation-3: -Why Do Frogs Croak? The main reason why a frog croaks is to attract a mate. Male frogs croak to get the attention of a female frog, even if they don’t see or hear one. Croaking is an innate behavior and is especially common during a frog’s mating season in the spring after it rains.

Detailed explanation-4: -Male frogs attract females to breeding sites by calls that are specific to their species. When there are many frogs calling from a breeding site at the same time, the sound produced can be tremendous. Frog calls can help humans to identify the frogs present in an area, too.
