The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of walking legs in a spider, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Group**: Recognize that spiders belong to the class Arachnida, which is part of the phylum Arthropoda. 2. **Understand the Anatomy**: Spiders are characterized by having jointed legs. 3. **Count the Legs**: Spiders have a total of 8 legs. 4. **Determine Pairs**: Since legs are typically counted in pairs, we can divide the total number of legs by 2.
