The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Movable spines used for locomotion occur in," we will analyze each of the given options step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the Options The options provided are: 1. Kinase (likely referring to "Echinodermata" such as sea urchins) 2. Ophiothrix (brittle stars) 3. Holothuria (sea cucumbers) 4. Antedon (feather stars) ### Step 2: Analyze Kinase - Kinase refers to sea urchins, which are echinoderms. - Sea urchins have a spherical shape and are covered with movable spines. - They use these spines along with tube feet to move by pushing against the substratum. - Therefore, sea urchins (kinase) use movable spines for locomotion. ### Step 3: Analyze Ophiothrix - Ophiothrix refers to brittle stars. - Brittle stars have long, flexible arms and primarily use these arms for locomotion. - They do not use movable spines for movement, so this option is incorrect. ### Step 4: Analyze Holothuria - Holothuria refers to sea cucumbers. - Sea cucumbers do not have limbs like arms; they move using tube feet. - They do not utilize movable spines for locomotion, making this option incorrect. ### Step 5: Analyze Antedon - Antedon refers to feather stars. - Feather stars also use their arms for locomotion. - They do not rely on movable spines for movement, so this option is incorrect. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the options, the correct answer to the question is: **Movable spines used for locomotion occur in Kinase (sea urchins).** ---
