Solution

The correct option is C Homomeric metamerism
Heteromeric segmentation is the type of segmentation in which each segment differs from another and fulfils a specific role. Homomeric segmentation is concerned with segments that contain similar elements and replicate each other in function. Metamerism is synonymous with segmentation in biology. The symmetry of the body is yet another criterion considered for the classification of animals.
