Animals such as Peripatus, which show characters of two different groups, are described as:
AVestigial forms
BFossil records
CConnecting links
DPure species
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Connecting links
1. Some animals share morphological characters of two different groups.
2. Such forms are called connecting links.
3. Peripatus links annelids and arthropods, so it is a connecting link.
4. A fossil is a preserved remain, which is a different idea, so it is ruled out.
