Which of the following is the largest phylum in the animal kingdom in respect of number of species?

  • A.Annelida
  • B.Platyhelminthes
  • C.Chordata

Answer: D

Arthropoda is the largest phylum, with over a million described species - about 80 per cent of all known animals.

It includes insects, crustaceans, arachnids and myriapods, united by a jointed exoskeleton of chitin and jointed limbs. Insects alone outnumber every other group of animals combined.
