The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about how earthworms differ from most marine annelids, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Key Characteristics of Earthworms**: - Earthworms are terrestrial annelids that have specific features that distinguish them from marine annelids. 2. **List Features of Earthworms**: - Earthworms possess **setae** (four pairs) that aid in movement. - They have a **simple nervous system** with five hearts and a small brain. - Their body is segmented, which is a common trait in annelids. - **Lack of Parapodia**: Earthworms do not have parapodia, which are fleshy protrusions found in many marine annelids that assist in locomotion. 3. **Compare with Marine Annelids**: - Marine annelids, such as polychaetes, typically have parapodia that help them swim or crawl in aquatic environments. - Earthworms, being terrestrial, do not require such adaptations for movement. 4. **Evaluate the Options**: - Option A: "Lacks setae" - Incorrect, as earthworms have setae. - Option B: "Lacks pedal-like parapodia" - Correct, as earthworms do not have parapodia. - Other options can be analyzed similarly but are not necessary for this question. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is that earthworms differ from most marine annelids in that they **lack pedal-like parapodia**. ### Final Answer: Earthworms differ from most marine annelids in that they **lack pedal-like parapodia**. ---
