Buccal pumping is the breathing mechanism observed in frogs. It involves the rhythmic movement of the floor of the oral cavity, or buccal cavity, to facilitate respiration. In frogs, buccal pumping involves the coordinated action of the muscles in the buccal cavity, which leads to the inhalation and exhalation of air. As the floor of the buccal cavity moves down, fresh air is drawn in through the nostrils. When the floor moves up, the air is forced out of the lungs and through the nostrils. This mechanism helps facilitate gas exchange in the frog's respiratory system. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
