Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((3)\) and \((4)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(c) : Frog's heart is myogenic, \(i.e.\), heartbeat originates from muscles of heart. Hence, it is autorythmic.

Due to this reason, frog’s heart will continue to beat as long as it gets supply of \(ATP.\)
