Solution

The correct option is B Honey bee, house fly, spider
Jellyfish is a coelenterate, starfish is a mollusc and dogfish is a chordate (fish).
Honey bee, crayfish and spider are arthropods. They are characterized by the presence of jointed legs.
Alligator and turtle are chordates (reptiles) but octopus is a mollusc.
Kangaroo (mammal) and salamander (amphibian) are chordates, but the sea anemone is a coelenterate.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
