Solution
The correct option is C Jointed appendages
Arthropods are the invertebrate animals which have jointed appendages. They have a segmented body. They are represented by a hard exoskeleton. In some segments of all known arthropods, the appendages have been modified to form different structures. The structures form gills, mouth-parts, antennae and claws. The gills are useful for exchange of gases. The mouth parts are involved in food intake and mastication. The antennae are sensory organs to collect information and claws for holding or grasping food. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
