The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks about the blood pigment found in annelids. 2. **Understand the Options**: The options provided are hemoglobin, cyanin, hematin, and hemocyanin. 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Hemoglobin**: This is a well-known red pigment responsible for carrying oxygen in many organisms, including humans and some annelids. - **Cyanin**: This pigment is typically found in plants and is not related to blood pigments in animals. - **Hematin**: This is a product of the oxidation of heme and is not primarily involved in oxygen transport. - **Hemocyanin**: This is a blue pigment found in some invertebrates, such as mollusks and arthropods, and contains copper instead of iron. 4. **Focus on Annelids**: In annelids, the primary blood pigment is hemoglobin. While there may be other pigments present, hemoglobin is the main one responsible for oxygen transport. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question is hemoglobin. **Final Answer**: The blood pigment of annelids is **hemoglobin**. ---
