The correct Answer is:
To determine which option is correctly matched, we will analyze each option based on the given characteristics and taxonomic classifications. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option A: Millipede - Ventral nerve cord - Arachnida** - Millipedes belong to the class **Diplopoda**, not **Arachnida**. - They have a **ventral nerve cord**, which is correct for many arthropods, but since the taxon is incorrect, this option is **wrong**. 2. **Option B: Silverfish - Pectoral and pelvic fins - Chordata** - Silverfish are **not** fish; they are insects belonging to the order **Thysanura** within the phylum **Arthropoda**. - They do not have **pectoral and pelvic fins**, which are characteristics of fish in the phylum **Chordata**. Therefore, this option is also **wrong**. 3. **Option C: Duck-billed Platypus - Oviparous - Mammalia** - The duck-billed platypus is indeed **oviparous**, meaning it lays eggs. - It belongs to the class **Mammalia**, which includes egg-laying mammals known as monotremes. This option is **correct**. 4. **Option D: Sea Anemone - Triploblastic - Cnidaria** - Sea anemones are classified under **Cnidaria** and are **diploblastic**, meaning they have two germ layers (ectoderm and endoderm). - The statement that they are **triploblastic** (having three germ layers) is incorrect. Therefore, this option is also **wrong**. ### Conclusion: The only correctly matched option is **Option C: Duck-billed Platypus - Oviparous - Mammalia**. ---
