Solution
The correct option is A Four
The answer is option A i.e. "Four".
The body of Nereis dumerilii is approximately 7-8 centimetres in length. The head is divisible into two parts: prostomium and peristomium. Prostomium is an anterior, small, roughly conical lobe of the peristomium. The prostomium bears the following structures: Prostomial Tentacles, palp, and eyes.
Eyes are in two pairs (four in numbers), simple, round, pigmented and present on the dorsal side of the head.
