Solution

The correct option is A Arthropoda
Annelida - Animals do not have jointed appendages.
Platyhelminthes - They are acoelomates.
Mollusca - They are not segmented.
An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and paired jointed appendages. Arthropods form the phylum Euarthropoda, which includes insects, arachnids, myriapods, and crustaceans.
So option A is correct.
