• A. I-P; II-Q; III-R; IV-Q
• B. I-Q; II-R; III-P; IV-R
• C. I-P; II-R; III-P; IV-Q
• D. I-P; II-R; III-Q; IV-R

Hint:

When matching organisms to their taxonomic orders, rely on distinctive characteristics that define each group, such as foot type in molluscs, which is a key feature distinguishing these orders.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Match each mollusc taxa to the correct order based on common biological classification. \begin{itemize} \item Cone snails (I) are best classified in the order Gastropod (Q). \item Octopuses (II) belong to the order Cephalopod (R). \item Giant clams (III) are included in the order Bivalve (P). \item Squids (IV) are also classified under the order Cephalopod (R). \end{itemize}
