Identify the characteristics of each option: A frog is an amphibian with four limbs, a shark is a cartilaginous fish without limbs, an octopus is a mollusk with tentacles, and a salmon is a bony fish without limbs.
Determine which of the options fits the definition of a tetrapod: Since tetrapods have four limbs, we need to identify which of the options has this characteristic.
Analyze the options: Frogs have four limbs and are classified as amphibians, which are part of the tetrapod group. Sharks, octopuses, and salmon do not have four limbs and are not classified as tetrapods.
Conclude that the frog is the correct answer as it fits the definition of a tetrapod, having four limbs and being an amphibian.
