Solution
The correct option is C Insecta In Arthropod animals the body consists of a head, thorax and abdomen. In Insects, head and thorax remain separate and are not fused together into Cephalothorax. These are characterised by an exoskeleton and joint appendages. Arthropoda is the phylum which contains a diverse group of organism. So, the correct answer is option C.
