Scorpions are predatory arthropod animals of the order Scorpiones, found within the class Arachnida. A scorpion has eight legs and has a pair of grasping claws, with a long, segmented tail.There are two types of respiratory organs found in arachnids, book lungs and tracheae. The book lungs are in the hardened pockets located on the underside of the abdomen. Diffusion of gas occurs between the hemolymph, which is circulating within the lamellae. The tracheal system consists of a number of tubes which open to the exterior by paired respiratory pores, which is similar to insects.
Hence the correct option is D.
