Solution

The correct option is C Trachea
Peripatus is a genus of Onychophora or velvet worms and a nocturnal carnivore. It is an invertebrate and is said to be a living fossil. It is considered to be the connecting link between the arthropods and annelids because it has some characteristics of annelids and some arthropods characteristics. Just like arthropods, it respires through tracheae. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
