Which of the following characteristics is typical of the phylum Arthropoda?

  • A. Radial symmetry
  • B. Closed circulatory system
  • C. Endoskeleton made of bones
  • D. Presence of a segmented body

Correct Answer: D. Presence of a segmented body

Explanation

Arthropods are characterized by the presence of a segmented body. This is a key characteristic of the phylum Arthropoda, which includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans. The other options are incorrect. Arthropods do not exhibit radial symmetry, they have an open circulatory system, and their exoskeleton is made of chitin, not bones.
