C
Reptiles have no legs but amphibians have four legs.
D
Reptiles do not have shells but amphibians have shells.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Reptiles have scales, and their skin is dry. Amphibians do not, and their skin is often moist with mucus, which keeps them from drying up.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reptiles are born with lungs, while amphibians are born with gills for breathing under water-where they hatch and spend their early development (growing lungs and legs later). Reptiles have scales, while amphibians have thin, smooth skin. Snakes, turtles, and lizards are reptiles.

Detailed explanation-3: -These scales both help to protect reptiles from injury and also prevent them from losing excess water, which is especially important for those that live in dry climates. Amphibians, like frogs, toads, and newts, on the other hand, all have smooth and moist skin that secretes mucus.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main difference between Amphibians and reptiles is that Reptiles are land animals whereas amphibians live both on land and in water. Amphibians can breathe both through gills and lungs while reptiles breathe through lungs only.
