The correct option is C

Arthropoda


Butterflies are insects and belong to the phylum Arthropoda. Arthropods have an open circulatory system, jointed legs and many of them have a chitinous exoskeleton.

Annelida consists of segmented worms. They have no legs and no hard skeleton.

The body of molluscs are divided into head, foot and visceral mass covered with a mantle that typically secretes the shell

Echinoderms are characterized by radial symmetry, several arms radiating from a central body.
