Peripatus is a connecting link between:

1. Mollusca and Echinodermata
2. Annelida and Arthropoda
3. Coelenterata and Porifera
4. Ctenophora and Platyhelminthes

Correct answer: Annelida and Arthropoda

Solution

Peripatus (Onychophora) has annelid-like segmentation and a soft, worm-like body, but also arthropod-like features such as tracheae, antennae, and clawed appendages. Because it shares key traits of both groups, it is considered a connecting link between Annelida and Arthropoda.
