Solution

The correct option is B Metamerism
The serial repetition of organs when body is divided into compartments is called metamerism because metamerism is the phenomenon of having a linear series of body segments fundamentally similar in structure. It is mainly seen in phylum annelida.
So, the correct answer is 'Metamerism'.
