Solution

The correct option is D Peripatus
Animals exhibiting characters of two adjacent taxonomic groups are called connecting links. They afford very good evidences of organic evolution. Peripatus is a living connecting link between arthropods and annelids. Its arthropods characters are claws, jaws, haemocoel, tracheae and dorsal tubular heart. The annelidan characters are continuous muscle layers in the body wall, unjoined legs and nephridia.

So, the correct answer is 'B'.
