Solution

The correct option is D Boat-shaped
The scientific word, Scaphopoda literally means 'boat-foot' animals. It refers to the foot's shape resembling a boat. It is made for digging the animal into the ocean floor. To do so, the animal pushes its floor into the ground, anchors it by pressing blood into it and then pulls in the rest of the shell.
So, the correct answer is option D.
