Solution

The correct option is B

Neopilina


  • Animal exhibiting characteristics of two adjacent taxonomic groups are called as connecting links.

  • Neopilina is the connecting link between annelida and mollusca.

  • Neopilina is the only segmented mollusc. It has a cup-shaped shell like that of a limpet. Its visceral mass is divided into five segments, each with a pair of shell muscles, gills, auricles and nephridia.

  • So, the correct answer is 'Neopilina'.
