• B. 100 - 200
• C. 20 - 95
• D. 115 - 120

Answer 1

The correct option is D 115 - 120

• An earthworm belongs to the phylum Annelida.
• Organisms in this phylum display bilateral symmetry, have a rudimentary head region (cephalization), and contain segmented bodies.
  
• The body of an earthworm is made up of approximately 100-120 segments.
• Each segment has muscles and bristles, known as setae, that help in the movement.

Hence, option D is correct.
