Answer 1

Option (c).

Locomotion in snail takes place with the support of strong muscular foot present under their shell. The body of a snail is soft and it consists of a head, a foot, and a shell. The hard external shell is a non-bony structure called exoskeleton. It doesn’t help in movements but is a shield from predators and damages.
