C) Anura

Explanation:

• Anura includes frog,toads and amphibians their larval stage has tail and gills.
• Frogs and toad are unique short and have broad flat heads with big mouths,tailess body and muscular and long hindlimbs.
• The larval development is completely different from adult in physiological, ecological and behaviour.

For example= Frogs have tail when they are in the larva stage but in adult phase the tail dissappears.

Answer 2

Animals of which order have tail in their larval forms is, (C) Anura.

• Anura includes frog,toads and amphibians their larval stage has tail and gills.

• Frogs and toad are unique short and have broad flat heads with big mouths,tailess body and muscular and long hindlimbs.

• The larval development is completely different from adult in physiological, ecological and behaviour.

What is Anura?

• Frogs and toads belong to the order Anura (from the Ancient Greek a(n)- meaning "without" and oura meaning "tail").

• Long hind limbs that fold below them, shorter forelimbs, webbed toes with no claws, no tails, huge eyes, and glandular moist skin are all common features.

• The members of this order with smooth skin are called frogs, whereas those with warty skin are called toads.

• Taxonomically, the distinction is not a formal one, and there are numerous exceptions to this rule.

• The "true toads" are members of the Bufonidae family.

• Frogs range in size from the West African Goliath frog (Conraua goliath) to the 30-centimetre (12 in) Goliath frog (Conraua goliath).

• To the Paedophryne amauensis, a 7.7-millimetre (0.30-inch) paedophryne that was initially discovered in Papua New Guinea in 2012.

Hence, Which order of animals has a tail in its larval form? Anura.
