Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Toad

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: D. Toad 📚 Explanation: Mammals and birds, such as tigers, bats, and hens, are 'warm-blooded' (endothermic), meaning they can maintain a constant body temperature regardless of the environment. A toad is an amphibian and is 'cold-blooded' (ectothermic). Its body temperature changes according to the temperature of its surroundings. This is a fundamental biological distinction between different classes of vertebrates.
