The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Organism**: The question asks about Echinococcus, which is a genus of parasitic tapeworms. 2. **Determine the Classification**: Echinococcus is commonly known as the dog tapeworm. It is important to identify its taxonomic classification. 3. **Phylum Identification**: Echinococcus belongs to the phylum Platyhelminthes, which is known for flatworms. This phylum includes various types of flatworms, including tapeworms and flukes. 4. **Examine the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Nemathelminthes - B) Platyhelminthes - C) Bacteria - D) Protista 5. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **A) Nemathelminthes**: This includes roundworms, which are not related to Echinococcus. Thus, this option is incorrect. - **B) Platyhelminthes**: This is the correct classification for Echinococcus, as it is a flatworm. - **C) Bacteria**: Echinococcus is not a bacterium; therefore, this option is incorrect. - **D) Protista**: Echinococcus does not belong to the Protista kingdom, making this option incorrect as well. 6. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is B) Platyhelminthes, as Echinococcus is a member of this phylum. **Final Answer**: Echinococcus is an example of Platyhelminthes. ---

This law was proposed by Dalton in 1803 . According to this law , if two elements combune to form more than one compounds ,the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element, are in the ratio of small whole number. For exemple, hydrogen combines with oxygen to form two compounds ,namely, water and hydrogen peroxide. Here, the masses of oxygen (i.e, 16g and 32g) which combine with a fixed mass of hydrogen (2g) bear a simple raio, i.e, 16 :32 or 1 :2 . An element forms two oxides .In one oxide ,one gram of the oxide containd 0.5g of the element. In another oxide, 4g of the oxide contains 0.8g of the element . Show that these data confirm the law of multiple proportion.
