Answer:

Option-(C):The crocodile has two completely divided ventricles.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Circulatory system of Amphibians:

The amphibians mostly posses the three chambered heart as most of the tetra-pods posses the completely divided atrium, while they have a single ventricular portion, which most of the time is undivided and the blood mixes up with another but that case is also prevented to the presence of valves inside the circulatory system.

  • While, the crocodiles make an exception to the list by having a different setup of chambers in them. As they have the two ventricles completely separated by a thick membrane. As the turtles have the same ventricular portion inside there heart.
