The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct matches of organisms with their taxonomic classifications, we will analyze each option provided and determine if they are correctly matched. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organisms and Their Taxonomic Groups**: - We need to look at each organism mentioned in the options and identify their correct taxonomic classification. 2. **Housefly**: - The housefly belongs to the class **Insecta**. This match is correct. 3. **Butterfly**: - The butterfly also belongs to the class **Insecta**. This match is correct. 4. **Sissy Fly (Tick-tick Fly)**: - The Sissy fly is indeed classified under **Insecta**. This match is correct. 5. **Silverfish**: - Silverfish belongs to the class **Insecta**. This match is correct. 6. **Spiny Anteater**: - The spiny anteater is a mammal and belongs to the class **Mammalia**, not **Echinodermata**. This match is incorrect. 7. **Sea Urchin**: - Sea urchins belong to the phylum **Echinodermata**. This match is correct. 8. **Sea Cucumber**: - Sea cucumbers also belong to the phylum **Echinodermata**. This match is correct. 9. **Flying Fish**: - Flying fish belong to the class **Pisces**. This match is correct. 10. **Cuttlefish**: - Cuttlefish belong to the class **Mollusca**, not **Pisces**. This match is incorrect. 11. **Centipede, Millipede, Spider, Scorpion**: - All of these belong to the phylum **Arthropoda**, which is often included under the broader category of **Insecta** for classification purposes. This match is correct. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all the options, the organisms that are correctly matched with their taxonomic classification are: - Housefly (Insecta) - Butterfly (Insecta) - Sissy Fly (Insecta) - Silverfish (Insecta) - Sea Urchin (Echinodermata) - Sea Cucumber (Echinodermata) - Flying Fish (Pisces) The incorrect matches are: - Spiny Anteater (should be Mammalia) - Cuttlefish (should be Mollusca) Therefore, the answer to the question is that the correctly matched organisms are primarily found in the fourth option, which includes the correct classifications for the majority of the organisms listed.
