The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characteristics of the phylum Annelida, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Phylum Annelida**: - Annelida is a phylum that includes segmented worms such as earthworms and leeches. They are characterized by their segmented bodies. 2. **Characteristics of Annelida**: - **Triploblastic**: Annelids are triploblastic, meaning they have three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. - **True Coelomate**: They possess a true coelom, which is a body cavity lined by mesoderm. - **Complete Digestive Tract**: Annelids have a complete digestive system, which means they have a mouth and an anus. - **Excretory Organs**: They have specialized excretory organs called nephridia. - **Presence of Parapodia**: Many annelids have parapodia, which are lateral extensions used for locomotion and respiration. - **Metamerism**: Annelids exhibit metamerism, meaning their bodies are divided into segments. - **Closed Circulatory System**: Annelids have a closed circulatory system, where blood is contained within vessels. 3. **Examining the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Annelida has a closed circulatory system." - This is **correct** as many annelids, such as earthworms, have a closed circulatory system. - **Option 2**: "Neris is Aquatic and Dioecious." - This is **correct**. Neris, a type of polychaete worm, is aquatic and has separate sexes (dioecious). - **Option 3**: "Ferretema and Leech is Monoecious." - This is **correct**. Both Ferretema (a type of earthworm) and leeches are monoecious, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs in the same individual. - **Option 4**: "All options are correct." - Since all the previous options are correct, this option is also **correct**. 4. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all the options, we conclude that all statements regarding Annelida are correct. Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4. ### Final Answer: **Option 4: All options are correct.**
