Ectothermic animals are cold blooded animals, or fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates. So the right answer would be turtles and lizards. If the answer choices was supposed to look like this
turtles and lizards
birds and mammals
frogs and mammals
lizards and birds
It would be the first option.
Hope this helps!

Answer:

The correct answer is turtles and lizards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cold-blooded animals also are known as ectotherms. These are the organisms whose body temperature regulation relies upon the external sources like heated rock surface, or sunlight. The ectotherms comprise amphibians, fishes, invertebrates, and reptiles. These are the species that cannot monitor their own body temperature. Thus, from the given options, turtles and lizards is the correct option.
