Unlike amphibians, reptiles

Ahave lungs to oxygenate blood.B. use single-loop circulatory system.C. have a closed circulation system in which blood circulates entirely within blood vessels.D. have ventricles that are further divided to lessen mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood.

The answer is D. have ventricles that are further divided to lessen mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood.

Amphibian hearts have 3 chambers - one ventricle and
two atria. Since there
is only one ventricle, oxygenated and deoxygenated blood will mix. On the other hand, lizards have a septum in the ventricle. The septum divides ventricles resulting in less mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood.
