The correct answer is First digit of fore limb.

Explanation:

  • Frogs exhibit sexual dimorphism.
  • Male frogs can be distinguished by the presence of sound producing vocal sacs and also a copulatory pad on the first digit of the fore limbs which are absent in female frogs.
  • Female frogs do not have a specialized first digit on their forelimbs for this purpose; it is specifically a feature of male frogs.
  • The copulatory pad in male frogs helps in securing the male to the female during the process of amplexus (mating)
