Answer 1

(d) earthworm : cockroach

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B - Turtle and Lizard.

Breathing is the process by which organism takes in oxygen continuously and releases carbon dioxide into the environment.

Turtles and Lizards are grouped taxonomically under Reptiles. Both have lungs to respire. However, respiration through lungs is not the only way they respire.


The turtles have a cloaca through which the gaseous exchange occurs. Lizards employ buccal pumping as a complement to their normal "axial breathing". 

In both, the creatures, excess pressure is required to fill the lungs with air. Although they can survive in water, they need to surface up at regular intervals to inhale and refill their lungs..
