Solution

The correct option is D
Annelida

The animals that developed the features of true coelom, segmentation and locomotory organs for the first time are grouped under the Phylum Annelida. These developments served to attain complexity in body organisation and to help them move in search of food, instead of parasitism and predation. Examples of annelids include Nereis and Pheretima (earthworm).
