D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How do amphibians breathe? Most amphibians breathe through lungs and their skin. Their skin has to stay wet in order for them to absorb oxygen so they secrete mucous to keep their skin moist (If they get too dry, they cannot breathe and will die).

Detailed explanation-2: -The amphibians breathe through the skin because when they are under the water then they will be able to absorb the oxygen only through the skin or else due to less oxygen they will drown in the water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Earthworms breathe through their skin. Frogs, when present in water, breathe through their moist skin. This kind of exchange of gases is called as cutaneous respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The species in this group include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. All can breathe and absorb water through their very thin skin. Amphibians also have special skin glands that produce useful proteins.
