Solution

The correct option is A Book lungs
Book lungs are the main respiratory organs found within the small openings in the abdomen of the arachnid (spider and scorpion). It consists hemolymph-filled plate-like structures. Between the plates, there is an air space and this allows air to circulate around the plates. The gaseous exchange then occurs through the surface of the plates.
