Solution

The correct option is C Jointed appendages and chitinous exoskeleton
Silverfish, scorpion, dragonfly and prawn all belong to phylum Arthropoda. All arthropods are characterised with jointed appendages and a chitinous exoskeleton. The exoskeleton helps in protection. They shed their exoskeleton by a process known as moulting or ecdysis.
So, the correct answer is option C.
