The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organisms**: The question asks about Limax and Helix, which are both types of land molluscs. Limax is a land slug, while Helix refers to a genus of land snails. 2. **Classify the Organisms**: Both Limax and Helix belong to the class Gastropoda, which includes all land molluscs. 3. **Understand the Respiration Mechanism**: The question is focused on how these organisms respire. In terrestrial molluscs, respiration occurs through specialized structures. 4. **Identify the Correct Respiratory Structure**: Among the options provided (tineidia, general body surface, pulmonary sac, buccal cavity), the pulmonary sac is the correct answer. 5. **Explain the Function of the Pulmonary Sac**: The pulmonary sac is a hollow organ that functions similarly to lungs in terrestrial molluscs. It has a contractile exterior opening that allows for gas exchange. 6. **Eliminate Incorrect Options**: - **Tineidia**: These are respiratory organs found in some aquatic molluscs, not in Limax and Helix. - **General Body Surface**: While some organisms can respire through their body surface, Limax and Helix specifically use the pulmonary sac. - **Buccal Cavity**: This is involved in feeding and not respiration. 7. **Final Answer**: Therefore, Limax and Helix respire with the help of the **pulmonary sac**.
