Arthropod exoskeletons and mollusc shells both arthropod exoskeletons and mollusc shells both completely replace the hydrostatic skeleton retain moisture in terrestrial habitats are comprised of the polysaccharide chitin are secreted by the mantle

The correct answer is that they help to retain moisture in terrestrial habitats.

Arthropods exoskeletons and mollusk shells both help to retain moisture in the terrestrial habitats.
