Answer: a. Photo-periodism
Explanation:
The relative length of the day is considered as a major factor in the development of plants, particularly in sexual reproduction. The plants were grouped considering that the flowering and fruiting occurs only when the length of the day is within certain limits so that these phases are achieved only in certain times of the year. Therefore, some species respond to long days, while others respond to short days, and still, others are capable of responding to all day lengths. The name and meaning of each group became as follows:
Short Day Plants: They are the species that bloom in smaller photoperiods than a critical maximum.
Long day plants. These are the species that bloom in larger photoperiods than a critical minimum.
Neutral day plants: They are those that bloom in a wide range of the photoperiod.
The word in the blank should be 'segregation' :)

Option D – amphibians may use their skin for gas exchange is the characteristic feature of amphibians that differs from reptiles.
Explanation:
The amphibian skin is moist, thin and marbled and supplied by blood vessels running on its surface. The moisture present in the skin dissolves the oxygen present in its surrounding which is absorbed by the blood vessels. Special glands help the amphibians to keep the skin moist.
The very thick and tough scales present on the reptiles prevent them to absorb oxygen through their skin. Hence, they breathe and respire through their lungs.
Amphibians have three-chambered heart. They do not develop amniotic eggs. Adult amphibians although spend much time on land, they breed only in water due to the absence of amniotic sac
