Q. What is true about Nereis, scorpion, cockroach and silver fish?

A) they all possess dorsal heart
B) none of them is aquatic
C) they all belong to the same phylum
D) they all have jointed paired appendages
Explanation

[Solution from source] Nereis (an annelid) has a contractile dorsal blood vessel, and arthropods such as scorpion, cockroach and silverfish have a dorsal tubular heart, so all have a dorsal heart. Nereis is a marine annelid with unjointed parapodia, so 'none is aquatic', 'same phylum' and 'jointed appendages' all fail. Answer (1).
