Solution
The correct option is CArachnida
The phylum arthropod is characterised by jointed legs. The segments are joint to form the structure of legs. The term octapoda means eight legs. Arachnids is a class of invertebrate animals. These animals have jointed appendages. They belong to the subphylum Chelicerata. All arachnids have eight legs. This is the reason they are also called as Octopoda. They are terrestrial animals.
