Solution

The correct option is D Starfish
Molluscs have calcium carbonate exoskeleton in their bodies. Snails are molluscs and carry a shell on their body made of calcium carbonate. Lungfish, sponge, and starfish do not have calcium carbonate deposited on their bodies.

So the correct answer is 'Snail'.
