Correct Answer: Amphibian


Solution : The correct option is Amphibian.

The mixing of oxygenated (oxygen-rich) and deoxygenated (oxygen-poor) blood happens in a cardiac region known as the ventricle in reptiles and some amphibians. Because they have a three-chambered heart with a partly split ventricle. Because of this anatomical configuration, some oxygenated and deoxygenated blood may be mixed before being pumped to different areas of the body. However, this mixing is not as widespread as in animals with entirely non-divided (two-chambered) hearts, such as fish. In their four-chambered hearts, mammals and birds have evolved a full separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, allowing for more effective oxygen delivery to tissues and organs.
