Introduction :
Arthropods are grouped into classes based on common characteristics, such as body segment form, appendages and mouthparts. The naming of arthropods is still questioned by taxonomists. Arthropods have joint-appended exoskeletons that allow them to move in diverse ways.

Answer to Problem 17A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (C) spider
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option (C) spider. Spider has two parts of the body: a cephalothorax and an abdomen, which both have six pairs of attachments. They have no antennas. The chelicerae are designed to act as pincers, and are sometimes attached to a gland with poison. So, the correct answer is option (C).
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option (A) tick. Ticks are
