The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Metamerism**: Metamerism refers to the division of an organism's body into repeated segments or metameres. This segmentation can be observed both internally and externally. 2. **Identifying Groups with Metamerism**: The question asks for groups besides Annelida (segmented worms) and Arthropoda (insects, arachnids, crustaceans). We need to identify other groups that exhibit metamerism. 3. **Analyzing the Given Options**: The options provided are: - Sestoda (a class of flatworms) - Mollusca (snails, clams, etc.) - Chordata (vertebrates and some invertebrates) - Acanthocephala (parasitic worms) 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Sestoda**: These are flatworms that do not exhibit true metamerism. - **Mollusca**: Generally, mollusks do not show true metamerism, although some may have a body plan that appears segmented. - **Chordata**: This group includes vertebrates, which do exhibit metamerism in the form of segmented bodies (e.g., vertebrae). - **Acanthocephala**: These are parasitic worms that do not show metamerism. 5. **Conclusion**: Among the options, Chordata is the only group that exhibits true metamerism alongside Annelida and Arthropoda. ### Final Answer: Besides Annelida and Arthropoda, metamerism is found in **Chordata**. ---
