The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about which phylum exhibits features such as a dorso-ventrally flattened body, great power of regeneration, and is mostly composed of endoparasitic animals, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Features**: The question mentions three specific features: - Dorso-ventrally flattened body - Great power of regeneration - Mostly endoparasitic animals 2. **Analyze the Options**: The options provided are: - Phylum Mollusca - Phylum Arthropoda - Phylum Platyhelminthus - Phylum Annelida 3. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Phylum Mollusca**: This phylum includes animals like snails and octopuses, which do not have a dorso-ventrally flattened body and are not primarily endoparasitic. - **Phylum Arthropoda**: This phylum includes insects and crustaceans, which also do not exhibit a dorso-ventrally flattened body or significant regeneration capabilities. - **Phylum Platyhelminthus**: This phylum includes flatworms, which are characterized by their dorso-ventrally flattened bodies. They are known for their high regenerative abilities and many species are endoparasitic (like tapeworms). - **Phylum Annelida**: This phylum includes segmented worms like earthworms, which do not have a dorso-ventrally flattened body and are not primarily endoparasitic. 4. **Conclude the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, the only phylum that matches all the given features is **Phylum Platyhelminthus**. Therefore, the correct answer is **C, Phylum Platyhelminthus**. ### Summary of the Solution: The phylum that exhibits a dorso-ventrally flattened body, has great regenerative abilities, and consists mostly of endoparasitic animals is **Phylum Platyhelminthus**.
