Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The body of annelids is divided into segments called metameres, externally ring like grooves (annuli) and internally by vertical partitions called septa. The external segmentation corresponds to internal segmentation. This phenomenon is called metamere or metameric segmentation. Phylum annelida represents the first group of metazoan animals developing a true coelom with metameric segmentation.
