Solution

The correct option is A tapeworm
Pseudometamerism means body segments are external and every segment is independent of others. Example: Tapeworm.

When the body is externally and internally divided into segments with a serial repetition of organs in each segment, the segmentation is said to be metameric as seen in annelids such as earthworm, Neries and leech.
