The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are incorrect, let's analyze each statement one by one: ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** Snail moves with the help of its muscular foot. - This statement is **correct**. Snails use their muscular foot to create a gliding motion on surfaces. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** Vertebral column of man has more number of vertebrae than that of woman. - This statement is **incorrect**. Both men and women have the same number of vertebrae in their vertebral column, which is typically 33. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement III **Statement III:** At the time of birth, a human baby has more number of bones than an adult. - This statement is **correct**. A human baby is born with approximately 300 bones, but as they grow, some of these bones fuse together, resulting in 206 bones in an adult. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement IV **Statement IV:** Joint present in the upper jaw of the skull is freely movable. - This statement is **incorrect**. The upper jaw (maxilla) is fixed and does not move; only the lower jaw (mandible) is movable. ### Conclusion The incorrect statements are: - Statement II: "Vertebral column of man has more number of vertebrae than that of woman." - Statement IV: "Joint present in the upper jaw of the skull is freely movable." ### Final Answer The incorrect statements are **II and IV**. ---
