Solution

The correct option is D Millipedes
Millipedes are included in the class Diplopoda. Most millipedes are slower than centipedes, and they feed on leaf litter and detritus. They are distinguished by the fusion of each pair of body segments into a single unit, giving the appearance of having two pairs of legs per segment. Around 8,000 species have been described in millipedes. They typically have between 36 and 400 legs. Hence option C is correct.
