Solution

The correct option is A Arachnida

Two types of respiratory organs are found among arachnids: book lungs and tracheae. Book lungs are found in hardened pockets generally located on the underside of the abdomen. Diffusion of gases occurs between the hemolymph circulating within thin leaf-like structures (lamellae) stacked like pages in a book within the pocket and the air in spaces between these thin structures.

So, the correct answer is option A.
