Solution

The correct option is B Metametism
In some animals, the body is split externally and internally into sections with at least some organs having a serial repeat. The body demonstrates this pattern called metameric segmentation in earthworm, for instance, and the phenomenon is known as metamerism or real segmentation. In three animal phylums-Annelida, Arthropoda and Chordata, metamerism is discovered.
