Solution

The correct option is A Variation
Normally a starfish has five arms. Variations are the differences among organisms of the same species due to the differences in the genes they inherit and the environment they survive in. As the sixth arm seen in starfish is different from other members of the same species, it is an example of variation.
So, the correct option is 'Variation'.
