Solution
The correct option is D
muscular foot
Snails have a strong and thick muscular foot coming out of their hard shell.
It moves by gliding along the muscular foot through succeeding waves of muscular contractions that move up and down the foot from their tail to their head.
It also secretes a slippery slime, which coats the ground under the snail that helps it to move along easily.
