The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Both centipedes and the millipedes belong to the same family Myriapoda characterized by the segmented body and no copulatory organs.

Although both belong to the same family they both belong to different classes based on their habitat as millipedes belong to Class Diplopoda while centipedes are terrestrial and belong to Class Chilopoda

They can be easily characterised by looking at the number of pair of legs per segment as the centipedes possess one pair of legs per segment while the millipedes possess two pair of legs per segment.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
