The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which combination represents the correct classification in the animal kingdom without any exceptions, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cyclostomata (Option A)**: - Cyclostomata are jawless fish, also known as Agnatha. - They possess a sucking, circular mouth, lack jaws, have an integument without scales, and have paired appendages. - Examples include Petromyzon (lamprey) and Myxine (hagfish). - Since all characteristics listed in this option are true for all members of Cyclostomata, this option is correct. 2. **Analyzing Aves (Option B)**: - Aves (birds) are characterized by having feathers. - The option states that they have moist skin and glandular forelimbs that form wings. - While the presence of feathers is true, birds have dry skin, not moist skin. - Therefore, this option is incorrect due to the moist skin claim. 3. **Examining Mammalia (Option C)**: - Mammals are characterized by having mammary glands, hair on the body, pinnae (external ears), and two pairs of limbs. - However, not all mammals have pinnae (e.g., some species of mammals like certain whales do not have external ears). - Thus, this option is also incorrect due to the exception regarding pinnae. 4. **Evaluating Chondrichthyes (Option D)**: - Chondrichthyes includes cartilaginous fish such as sharks and rays. - The option states that they have a ventral mouth, gills without operculum, skin with placoid scales, and a persistent notochord. - While the mouth being ventral, the presence of gills without operculum, and placoid scales are true, the mention of feathers is incorrect as Chondrichthyes do not have feathers. - Therefore, this option is also incorrect. ### Conclusion: The only option that represents a correct combination without any exceptions is **Option A (Cyclostomata)**.
