Solution
The correct option is C swimming
Parapodia are the lateral appendages seen on the surface of the body of some organisms in phylum Annelida as seen in Nereis. It is a marine organism and uses parapodia for swimming. Parapodia are present in each segment in Nereis. Nereis catches its prey by turning its pharynx inside out which allows the jaws in front to catch the prey. A distinct stomach is absent in Nereis. Epithelial lining of mid-gut contains gland cells which secrete digestive enzymes. Nephridia helps in osmoregulation and excretion.
