Correct Answer: Two lives


Solution : The correct option is two lives .

Amphibian is derived from the Greek terms amphia which means both, and bios which means life. The term "amphibian" literally means double life. This word represents the dual nature of many amphibians' lives since they frequently go through both aquatic and terrestrial phases. Amphibians often begin their lives in water as aquatic larvae (e.g., tadpoles) and then metamorphose to become adults capable of living both in water and on land.
