Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Changes occurring in torsion are to certain extent reversible. This reversion is known as detorsion and it is a very characteristic of the whole group of the euthyneura. Formerly, this condition was looked upon as an arrested stage in the torsion, but there is the same reduction of the paired parts of the pallial complex as in the specialized streptoneura. Total detorsion, as shown by the typical opisthobranchia is accompained by the reduction of disappearance of the shell.
