Solution

The correct option is D Annelida
Metamerism is a type of segmentation where the body is divided externally and internally into segments with linear repetition of organs in each segment. This is a characteristic feature of earthworm, leech and Nereis, which belong to phylum Annelida.
Poriferans and molluscs do not exhibit segmentations and some flatworms exhibit pseudosegmentation.
