Which of the following are correctly matched with respect to their taxonomic classification?
(a) Centipede, millipede, spider , scorpion- Insecta
(b) Housefly , butterfly, tsetsefly, silverfish - Insecta
(c) Spiny anteater, sea urchin, sea cucumber - Echinodermata
(d) Flying fish, cuttelfish, silverfish - Pisces .

Options

A. Centipede, millipede, spider , scorpion- Insecta
B. Housefly , butterfly, tsetsefly, silverfish - Isecta
C. Spiny anteater, sea urchin, sea cucumber - Echinodermata
D. Flying fish, cuttelfish, silverfish - Pisces .

Answer

To determine which of the given options are correctly matched with respect to their taxonomic classification, we need to analyze each option carefully.

### Step-by-step Solution:

1. **Option (a): Centipede, millipede, spider, scorpion - Insecta**
- Centipedes belong to the class **Chilopoda**.
- Millipedes belong to the class **Diplopoda**.
- Spiders and scorpions belong to the class **Arachnida**.
- Since none of these belong to the class **Insecta**, this option is **incorrect**.

2. **Option (b): Housefly, butterfly, tsetse fly, silverfish - Insecta**
- Housefly, butterfly, and tsetse fly all belong to the class **Insecta**.
- Silverfish, however, belongs to the class **Thysanura**, which is also part of the phylum **Arthropoda** but not classified under **Insecta**.
- Therefore, this option is **incorrect**.

3. **Option (c): Spiny anteater, sea urchin, sea cucumber - Echinodermata**
- The spiny anteater (also known as the echidna) belongs to the class **Mammalia**.
- Sea urchins belong to the class **Echinoidea**, and sea cucumbers belong to the class **Holothuroidea**, both of which are part of the phylum **Echinodermata**.
- Since the spiny anteater does not belong to Echinodermata, this option is **incorrect**.

4. **Option (d): Flying fish, cuttlefish, silverfish - Pisces**
- Flying fish belong to the class **Actinopterygii** (ray-finned fishes), which is part of the phylum **Chordata**.
- Cuttlefish belong to the class **Cephalopoda**, which is part of the phylum **Mollusca**.
- Silverfish belong to the class **Thysanura**, which is part of the phylum **Arthropoda**.
- Since none of these belong to the class **Pisces**, this option is **incorrect**.

### Conclusion:
After analyzing all options, it is clear that **none of the options are correctly matched** with respect to their taxonomic classification.
