Solution

The correct option is A Arthropoda
Jointed legs is the exclusive characteristic of the phylum Arthropoda.
Molluscs and Echinodermata do not have any differentiated legs.
Some common characteristics of Arthropods are:
1. Exoskeleton.
2. Segmented bodies.
3. Jointed appendages.
So the correct answer is 'Arthropoda'.
