The correct answer is: (c) Amphiplatyan

Amphiplatyan vertebrae have a flat or slightly concave front surface and a flat or slightly convex rear surface. This type of vertebral centrum is found in frogs and many other amphibians. The term "amphiplatyan" is used to describe the specific shape of the centrum in these vertebrates.
