Question

The body of an earthworm is segmented. Almost all of these segments bear setae except

• A. first, clitellum and last segments
• B. clitellum and last segments
• C. first segment
• D. first and last segments

Answer 1

The correct option is A first, clitellum and last segments

In an earthworm, excluding the first, last, and the clitellar portions, every segment has a hoop of a small rounded, chitinous formation known as setae. Setae assist in movement and copulation.
