Correct answer: D. cannot control their body temperature.
- A. have separate sexes
- B. respire through lungs
- C. lay eggs with soft and leathery shells
- D. cannot control their body temperature.
Explanation
In this question, the key difference between amphibians and reptiles is their ability to control body temperature. Reptiles, unlike amphibians, are ectothermic, which means they rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature. This makes option D the correct choice. The other options are incorrect as they describe characteristics that are common to both amphibians and reptiles, not unique to reptiles.
