The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks about the locomotion organs of annelids, which are segmented worms belonging to the phylum Annelida. 2. **Identifying the Options:** The options given are: - a) Suckers - b) Parapodia - c) Cetae - d) All the above 3. **Analyzing Each Option:** - **Suckers:** These are found in parasitic annelids, such as leeches. Suckers help in attachment to hosts and can assist in movement. - **Parapodia:** These are lateral appendages found in aquatic annelids, such as Nereis. Parapodia are used for swimming and crawling. - **Cetae (or Setae):** These are bristle-like structures found in earthworms. Cetae help in anchoring the worm to the substrate and assist in locomotion. 4. **Conclusion:** Since all the mentioned structures (suckers, parapodia, and cetae) serve as locomotion organs in different types of annelids, the correct answer is "all the above." 5. **Final Answer:** The locomotion organs of annelida are all the above (suckers, parapodia, and cetae). ---
