4️⃣ Amphibia​

Answer 1

Answer:

snakes are included in class reptilia

Answer 2

The correct answer is option (1) Reptilia.

Explanation:

• Snakes are classified as Reptiles.
• Reptiles, as most commonly defined, are the animals in the class Reptilia, a paraphyletic grouping comprising all amniotes except synapsids and Aves.
• Living reptiles comprise turtles, crocodilians, squamates and rhynchocephalians.
• "Reptile" is an ambiguous category: It usually refers to lizards, snakes, turtles, alligators and crocodiles, but to be genetically consistent should also include birds, since crocodilians are more closely related to birds than to lizards, snakes or turtles.
