Solution

The correct option is A Leech
Leeches are segmented worms belonging to the phylum Annelida. In leeches, there is no correlation between the external segmentation of a leech's body surface with the segmentation of its internal organs. The body surface of the animal can be divided into 102 annuli, whereas its internal structures are divided into 32 segments. So, the correct answer is option A.
