An unidentified species of animal displays the following characteristics: bilateral symmetry, a complete digestive system, an open circulatory system, distinct body segmentation, and it molts when it grows. To which of the following animal phyla does this species most likely belong?

A) Annelida

B) Arthropoda

C) Nematoda

D) Platyhelminthes

E) Cnidaria

Answer: It is mostly likely B

Explanation: The phylum Arthropoda consists of invertebrate animals with exoskeletons, a segmented bodies, and paired jointed appendages. It is also more advanced than the organisms belonging to A, C, and D. However, I do not think it's E because that mostly includes sea dwelling creatures and this includes evidence of its habitat.
