Solution

The correct option is A Neopilina
The organisms which possess the characters of two different groups and are still living are called connecting links.

Neopilina, also called the ancestral mollusc, is the connecting link between annelids and molluscs. They have shells like molluscs and their bodies exhibit segmentation like annelids. So, they are regarded as the connecting link between these two phyla.


Nautilus is a mollusc of the class Cephalopoda. It has coiled shells.


Glochidium is the larval stage of the bivalve molluscs (a mollusc that has laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts).


Platypus, commonly called duck-billed platypus. It is an egg laying mammal and a connecting link between reptiles and mammals.
