The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which phylum contains respiratory organs such as gills, book gills, book lungs, or a tracheal system, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Respiratory Organs**: The question lists several types of respiratory organs: gills, book gills, book lungs, and a tracheal system. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **(a) Arthropoda**: This phylum includes various classes such as crustaceans, insects, and arachnids. Crustaceans possess gills, while arachnids (like spiders) have book lungs. Insects have a tracheal system for respiration. - **(b) Aschelminthes**: This phylum, also known as nematodes or roundworms, does not typically have specialized respiratory organs like gills or lungs. They generally rely on diffusion for gas exchange. - **(c) Mollusca**: While some mollusks have gills (like aquatic mollusks), they do not have book gills or a tracheal system. - **(d) Chordata**: This phylum includes animals with a backbone. While many chordates have gills (like fish), they do not have book gills or a tracheal system. 3. **Determine the Correct Answer**: Since Arthropoda includes organisms that have all the mentioned respiratory organs (gills in crustaceans, book lungs in arachnids, and a tracheal system in insects), the correct answer is **(a) Arthropoda**. ### Final Answer: **(a) Arthropoda**
