Answer 1

The correct option is A

Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true

The body of an earthworm is made up of rings joined end to end. An earthworm has 100 to 150 body segments, each having muscles and bristles (setae). Setae are tiny and almost invisible structures. Earthworm uses them to anchor while navigating in the soil, or when a bird is trying to pull it from the ground.
