The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks about which organism shows differentiation in a segmental fashion. This refers to the way the body is divided into segments, which can have specialized functions. 2. **Identify the Options**: The options given are: - Leeches - Starfish - Snail - Ascaris 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Leeches**: Leeches belong to the phylum Annelida. Annelids exhibit metameric segmentation, meaning their bodies are divided into segments that are similar and contain organs. This is a clear indication of differentiation in a segmental fashion. - **Starfish**: Starfish belong to the phylum Echinodermata. They do not exhibit metameric segmentation; instead, they have a radial symmetry and spines, which is not related to segmental differentiation. - **Snail**: Snails belong to the phylum Mollusca. Their defining feature is the presence of a shell, and they do not show metameric segmentation. - **Ascaris**: Ascaris is a roundworm that belongs to the phylum Nematoda (not Asclementes as mentioned). Nematodes do not exhibit metameric segmentation; they have a cylindrical body shape. 4. **Conclusion**: Since only leeches (annelids) exhibit metameric segmentation, the correct answer is **Leeches**. 5. **Final Answer**: The differentiation in segmental fashion occurs in **Leeches** (Option 1). ---
